Worldwide Knitting In Public - KIP - celebration

Despite the freezing cold weather (by Orewa standards!) we have re- yarn bombed the tree outside the Estuary Arts Centre at the Western Reserve in Orewa, north of Auckland.  This has consistently had some lovely knitted and crocheted embellishments over the last couple of years, however recently someone has removed everything!  Here's hoping these lovely ones stay a lot longer.

Term 4 starts tomorrow

Knitting at Orewa - Estuary Arts Centre - starts Wednesday 19th October.  I am starting evening classes again as the weather is warming up so I hope we'll get more people along.  This term both classes will focus on Christmas.  I will bring a range of patterns and ideas - feel free to share.  See you there - bring friends!

I'm back! Here's my new artwork

Hi all - sorry for the absence.  Been busy, but not  posting.  Anyway, here is my latest artwork that I've produced for the 'Made in New Zealand' exhibition opening Thursday 22 September.  I used recycled lighting materials, fibres sourced both locally and commercially and utilised techniques of various knitting and crochet styles.  I call it "Koru Bling" as it combines the organic aspects of the traditional koru while incorporating glimpses of the shiny bling within it.
