Great excitement ....

Everyone is very excited to have received another grant from the North Epping Branch of Bendigo Community Bank, and everyone is waiting with twitching fingers and bated breath for the first purchases of new wool as we have run very low.

Other excitement today as we learnt that Kris - our young crochet guru who topped the year in Interior Design in her final exams at TAFE has now found employment after an enforced stay at home because of health problems. The even more exciting news is that she won't be working Thursdays! so she will still be able to come to the group. Congratulations, Kris!!


Two of our group will be sorely missed during their absences on visits to their home countries.  Indrani is a longstanding member of the group and and  Kanwal a relatively new one,  but both are "fixtures" whom we always look forward to seeing. We all hope you each  have a wonderful visit to catch up with family and friends and we look forward to your safe returns.

And we were very pleased to welcome Beatriz back after an extended absence, and a new member, Wendy. Wendy is here for a few months from China, visiting her family. She is a fast and skilled knitter and will enjoy the friendship of the group and practise her English while she is here.

Another couple of rugs have been completed - and the makings of some donated:


Squares donated by Val and her patchwork group; sewn together and edged by the Epping Library Group.

Squares donated by  Mrs Valario,  along with a "plan" for how they should be sewn together - a great help!
A rug completed by Vida from bits and pieces of yarn - it looks good!
