Congratulations to the curator(s) Tracy Hallyar and Annie Wertheim and a wonderful team that worked so hard to…

Knitting and all things fibre took a little bit of a backseat this weekend in our home, with the replay of the drawn AFL Grand Final on Saturday and subsequent celebrations on Saturday night in our household (and the obligatory replay over and over on Sunday). Our football team, the Mighty Magpies took the flag…

VERY inspirational indeed. In turn, I think he…

However, I thought it was high time to share with you the progress of Margaret’s beautiful…

Crochet Coral Heaven
Yesterday (Saturday) my sister-in-law and I took ourselves off to our second workshop for the Melbourne Satellite Reef Project. We were like two little kids with a bunch of brand new toys – so excited were we. Totally hooked in more ways than one. That this is only our second workshop is a bit of…

More Crochet Coral
I am loving the freedom of creating coral for the Melbourne Satellite Reef Project. You can play with form and colour all you like and not make a mistake. For someone who is not native to crochet, it gives me an opportunity to play big time. This weekend the group get together at the Burrinja…
