More Rugs ...

Now, some of the rugs here may have appeared in the blog before - I haven't kept up with the photography and so many look alike in my files! The numbers are correct though - so apologies if you've seen them before (I'd appreciate a comment to that effect so I can remove the duplicates) - enjoy the amazing way colours and patterns are put together - some are planned by the knitter, many are sewn together by the group making the best we can of a mixed bag of loose squares that have been donated or knitted by the group. Often, an amazing use is made of odd fragments of knitting or crochet that have been included in donated wool.




Some time ago Cecilia (Cecilia1 on Ravelry) gave the group a lot of yarn and needles as she packed up her ho me to go overseas to work. We have been very grateful for that donation - these needles have become used more over the last six weeks or so as knitting skills improve and people have been keen to try new techniques and thicker yarns. Thank you again, Cecilia.

















Most of the yarn we use has been donated or bought with the grant we received from the North Epping Bendigo Community Bank. With some of our grant money were very fortunate to be able to purchase a lot of yarn at a very reduced price from Janette (Janette on Ravelry) as she destashed the yarn from her online business (styk.com.au).

Thank you again to all those people and businesses who support our knitting efforts either by donations of yarn, needles or knitted items, grants or discounts, or donations for our functions - we are very grateful to all of you.
