Winter is Coming!

WINTER IS COMING...

 While friends in Europe are preparing for summer, winter is coming to the southern Hemisphere and my woollies are being pulled out.   However, I realised I've actually been knitting quite a bit for the last year, despite how warm it gets here in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia! 

Did anyone take part in the blanket squares that Arne and Carlos designed during Covid?  I seldom join in Kals (knit-alongs) but I thought this would be good practice for colour work and it was.  I also decided I'd make enough to make a bag rather than a blanket. 


Colourwork squares for the bag 


It was also a chance to design some squares and lots of fun seeing others do the same. What a thrill when someone chose my designs to include in their blanket. 

Annually, Knitfest Knitfest, Maleny 2021is held in a lovely village called Maleny situated in the hinterland of Qld. Excluding 2020 for obvious reasons, I had always gone as a visitor but this year, I'm going to  be a tutor, teaching the Latvian Braid.  Are you coming?  😊There is so much to do and see and of course, there'll be all the squishy yarns at this wonderful knitting festival.   


The Latvian braid has many applications.  In just three rows, you can transform a garment or accessory. 



Will your braid be leaning left or right? 

I'll also be taking my lovely hand dyed yarns, some hand made ceramic sheepy pins, mugs for knitters and crocheters and yarn bowls as well as new stitch markers!  I can't wait to see and to meet up with other yarn lovers again. Be sure to say hi if you see me there.  

 I've designed a whole range of new stitchmarker tins

Time to decorate and fire these knitter's and crocheter's mugs
 

Here's hoping your knitting mojo is in full swing no matter where you are in the world. 
 See you at Knifest.

Happy yarning!

  1.  Thank you for such a great post you wrote here and I'm very obliged to write an article here on the benefit of herbal herbs.I am 29 years old and have been diagnosed with breast cancer, ease of treatment and a similar story, except for my first acceptance as a rejection of herbal medicine. I was not part of the Perseid movement and did not really build relationships with any of them, I just believed in their operation. I say this because it was during the use of Dr. Itua herbal medicine that I now attest that herbal medicine is real, the phytotherapy Dr. Itua heals my breast cancer which I suffered for 2 years. Dr. Itua herbal medicine is made of natural herbs, with no side effects, and easy to drink. If you have the same breast cancer or any type of human illness, including HIV / AIDS, herpes cancer, bladder cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, kidney cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, skin cancer and skin cancer. , LEUKEMIA, VIRUSES, HEPATITIS, INFERTILITY WOMEN / MAN, LOT OF LOVE, LOTTERY.
