Knitting in all the right places!

Hi everyone, the latest knitting news from the Knitcetera crew is that we are starting to think about winter knits already!  With the weather cooling down, some if us are knitting beanies, scarves and other winter warmers.  We are not forgetting the graffiti knitting aspects of our knitting though, with a small group steadily building up a store of attachable flowers, etc ready for our next foray!

Kaipatiki knitters are looking forward to the big shift in May when we will accompany Jill and the crew to their new premises next to Marlborough Hall in Glenfield - very exciting.  And the veranda looks just the place for some lovely baskets of knitted flowers, methinks!

Anyone interested in diversifying into some sewing as well as knitting, remember to ask for a peek at our stash at the Estuary Arts Centre - glorious material offcuts to set the creative juices flowing!
