Spring is on the way??

Things have been really busy down here in Tasmania, trying to stay dry and warm, for a start, the daffodils in my front yard are telling me spring is on the way but i'm not convinced! There's been some dyeing and spinning, and a bit of knitting thrown in. We are off on a family holiday to sunny Queensland in 2 weeks which will be very exciting, unfortunatly it means I won't be at the spring Beach Market but on balance, what would you say if you were offered a week off??


Soon after our return the 2nd Tassie Stitchers retreat is on, closely followed by a demonstration at the local handweavers, spinners and dyers guild that we've been asked to do. I've started making my christmas knitting plans, and of course purchasing the required goodies.


On top of all that I am now trying to round up generous crafty people to sew or crochet together blankets for Hobarts' homeless. Literally hundreds of lovely knitted squares have been donated and are currently residing at Tasmanian Wool Suppliers in Moonah. I am trying to get a team together to have a sit-in one afternoon in the shop, we'll have a lovely cosy afternoon of tea and cake, and get some blankets together. More details to folllow.
