Helping out the Bushfire Victims

Now that I have finished my Vest, I have started making sqaures for the Friendship Blankets. I am knitting these on a diagonal, in the hopes that I wont get too bored with the straight knitting. At this stage my goal is to do 5 squares, as I am hoping that I won't get too bored with them.

I have started one square this morning, and have already done 10cm on it. It didn't take long at all, but as I will be continually increasing stitches, there is going to be more and more that I will need to knit. I am doing the first square in multi-coloured wool (blues, purples, pinks) and so far it's looking pretty funky!

Stitch & Bitch

On Saturday I went out on a limb, took a risk and went out to Tuggeranong to the Southside meetup of Stitch & Bitch.

It was definately a great idea!!

I met up with about 7 other knitters, all of whom were so friendly! We all sat around the tables knitting, drinking coffee, eating and talking about different wools and other knitting related things! It was so much fun, and so great to meet up with other like minded people!! I really can't wait for the next one, so I'm going to check out the one in the City! Not sure when it is, but will double check!

Most people were making squares for the Friendship Blankets for the victims of the Victorian Bushfire Disaster. I wanted to finish my vest before I started on my squares.
