video of yarn bombing

I knitted a bike

As part of 'International knit in public Day' and friend and I knitted a bike to support the yarn bombing organised at the Castlemaine Library.....

It was a great effort by everyone, and our bike made it in to the local paper!!!

my first CWA meeting

I have been to my first Country Womens Association meeting, it was awesome.... I learnt how to crochet, I did learn as a child from my nana, but needed refreshing. 

I have become completely obsessed and cannot stop.

New Skull prints

Here are the newest skull prints for cushions, these 3 new colors will be available in the next week or so on the online store

World Wide Knit in public Day

As part of 'World Wide knit in public day' I have joined in with a knitting group at the Castlemaine Library. Head librarian Robyn is organising a 'craft bombing' of the library. So I went along with a friend and crashed the council knitting group, this group consists of older ladies 70-80yrs old. It has been the most wonderful experience, sitting around with these women, they are seriously incredible knitters and crafts women. I feel like a complete beginner beside them.
Wilma is a prolific knitter and crocheter, Doreen is known to knit in her sleep? and each week I thoroughly enjoy their conversation and passing on of knowledge.
For the craft bombing my friend Ashley and I are bombing a bike and bike rack. I will post images of us bombing next week.

I joined the CWA

I am now a proud member of the Castlemaine CWA. (country womens association)
I am very lucky to live in an area where there is a strong CWA group, many small communities have not been able to sustain these groups due to dwindling numbers. But here in Castlemaine it is thriving.
I am going along to my first Creative Craft Program this thursday June 7th, and am excited to see what it is all about.

I will keep you updated on all CWA goings on.....
