We're into the new knitting year .... and "thank you"s are due to so many people.

 I still haven't finished updating the blog from the last knitting year, so please accept my apologies - it's been one of those years with lots of personal things happening including several trips in Australia and one to Japan, visitors from New Zealand, three operations to different family members and many visits to doctors, physiotherapists, radiologists etc. Sometimes other things just have to slide and it seems to have been my knitting and the blog.

The knitting year finished with the big Knit-In at Hornsby Library in August.  Epping was represented by a large group and lots of fun was had. We contested the fastest knitter, blindfold knitting, and the two-handed knitting contests, the knit-lit competition and the "guess the length of the knitting needles" competition. It is always good fun, but even better fun when someone from our group wins a prize as was the case this year.

A very big "thank you" to the Hornsby Library and the many librarians from across the Shire for making it such an enjoyable day.


And special big "thank you" to the wonderful librarians at Epping Library, our "home".  Sue shares her office with our wool and rugs - we often wonder how she fits herself in - and is unfailingly cheerful and encouraging about it  ( even the noise level of the group). Mani is similarly encouraging and helpful to us, as she tries to keep track of our membership and activities and my rather disorganised organisation! I'm sure we give them both headaches some days :)  Then we have Deeni, Susan and Catherine who have been quietly supportive behind the scenes. Thank you from us all.
