March - Easter Bunny

I'm generally excited about how well the group is forming and continuing to grow each month (in numbers but more importantly, depth. hmmm, not sure if that is the correct word, I hope you know what I mean).

As promised we all enjoyed a lovely New Yoke cheese cake along with our fav hot drink. I would have to say that it was my fav cake so far. Keep up the good work Bronwen!!!

The demo this month was an Easter inspired bunny. With only 1 tricky bit to the method of construction this little bunny is a must for those that love making, giving or receiving softies. As always kits are available just send me an email tn06@bigpond.com.au


I even became the student this month, with one of my girls teaching me how to knit!!!
Both my grandparents knitted like most ladies only 1 or 2 generations ago. But when I failed knitting miserably as a little girl, I didn't have the heart to go back to either grandparent and ask them for help (especially my Nan). Now many years latter I thought I should give it other go. So I pulled out a shrug that I wanted to replicate (any many ways is just a wide scarf), my Nan’s knitting needles and brought some wool. It turned out that I needed different size needles than what I had, never mind the girls said; as one handed me the right size to borrow until I brought my own. They worked out how many stitches I would need and started teaching me how to cast on and then knit 2 pearl 2. After the CC&C I tried at home but forgot which way to flick the needles. Lucky for me, one of the girls lives 3 houses down my street, she put me back on track and I'm click clicking again. Now I'm just hoping that it will be good enough to wear. Nan, if you’re watching down on me, you better close your eyes for a while!!!

Once finished I will post a photo for all too see (I wonder if the photos will make it look better than what it actually looks like, hehehe).

Before I sign off, as the last Saturday falls on ANZAC day next month, we will be meeting on the Sunday from 11-2pm.
Until next month
