I nearly didn't make it to the 
Royal Adelaide Show this year
even though my work was entered 
and on display!

Showtime!

The gates to Sydney’s Royal Easter Show opened yesterday plus

entries are now open for the Royal Adelaide Show.

A Mum's Day Off

Wednesday is the one day in the week that has 

no appointments, no visitors, no support staff and

none of the offspring at home. 

The house is empty; no need to watch the clock. 

It is the perfect day of the week to have my 'day off' 

but I am beginning to wonder about today …

Guessing Game Answer

Crochet ribbing and broomstick lace together.
Can you guess what it will become?

Last week, I shared this project prototype and invited everyone to guess what it would be.

Did you guess what I was crocheting with those circular knitting needles?

Crocheting with knitting needles?  
That seems a bit peculiar but it's true!

Circular Broomsticks

Last week, I dashed out to buy some circular knitting needles…

New needle sets for the collection.
(L–R) 12 mm and 15 mm sizes, 80 cm length.

Mayday! Mayday! RAH, rah, rah!

"Get Well" flowers

It was a Mayday call on a Monday May Day morning that brought about the ambulance ride, through peak hour traffic, to a major city hospital.

Ravellenic Games Review 2016

The Ravelry Mascot, Bob, appears on the
commemorative pin.

My Ravellenic Games souvenir pin finally arrived in the post today! It was lovingly designed by Guin
(otherwise known as Octagonfudge on Ravelry) of
Perpetual Flights Studio.

Have you heard of the Ravellenic Games?  If not, you might like to find out more from one of my earlier posts (14 July 2016) which has links and an explanation of what you need to know.

While the Ravellenic Games were on, it was pretty busy but great fun.  I made faster crochet progress in two weeks than I have in two months!  Now that the rush of the Ravellenic Games is over, there is time to review and share the projects!

Get on your Broomsticks!

Warning: this is not about Hallowe'en

but

Hallowe'en is a great time to 'get a handle on'

Do you want to learn more about tricot

 broomstick and hairpin crochet techniques?

 Would you like your general crochet questions answered?

Come along to the Adelaide Maker Faire 

on Sunday 6 November 2016 at Tonsley.

The old manufacturing site is becoming an 'innovation' precinct and the building renovations have won awards for sustainability and design.  Flinders University and TAFE SA will also be open to visitors so why not come down and have a look?

 I'll be there, ready to share my passion for crochet.  

Come along and say hello! 

I'd love to see you there!
