A Good Yarn


Friday night is knitting night, or stitch n bitch, as it's been called. It's a little bit daggy, a little bit grandma, but perfect for bleak Mountains evenings.


Above is a sample of last night's efforts.


For the style-conscious there is the Jo Sharp and Rowan patterns and wool to drool over. With moody fashion shoots and gorgous models pouting in charcoal cashmere, you suddenly realise that a pair of elegant legwarmers with eyelets is what's been missing in your life all this time.


And coming soon... a good friend of mine and demon-knitter Leanne is designer of a new range of yarns and patterns, Morris Yarns, to be launched in 2009. Watch this space: http://www.morrisyarns.com/


Locally, Katoomba-ites may know the knitting shop under the library - a beautiful range of Jo Sharp and other specialty yarns, as well as bamboo knitting needles and other delights!
