knitting in public






Okay, so while the last one is not strictly Sack Boy knitting, it hit the cute button so I have included it.

For posterity I am wearing the hat I won at the Sutherland Spinners and Weavers Day raffle. I can't remember the last time I won something, so was really pleased to get the phone call informing me of my good fortune, and here is the object in question. It's warm and it has a pompom, what could be nicer?

Photos were at Kurnell, Cape Solander again. No whales, but aparently 10 dolphins spotted this day (Sunday). Rain, more rain, water spouts, and really a lot of wind.

World Wide Knit in Public (a tale of two days and one long week)

here is the story of what is to come.
Yesterday I attended a very good event in Sydney's Martin Place organised by ACS (Australian Country Spinners). There was shelter, heat, yarn needles and since I was just there, hot chocolate from the Lindt Cafe. There were new friends, and one of my daughters and her friend, all knitting for the save the children chahttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifrity (squares for children's blankets), pure wool given by ACS - think Patons, Cleckheaton, Panda amongst others. It was fun, I have now done four squares (there are 16 in a blanket, that's how small it is!

come on join in, drop offs are at Spotlight or Lindcraft, and it will make a small person warmer in a cold world!
