KITGO

Knitting In The Great Outdoors (KITGO) was today and after a few days of solid rain, it was a beautiful sunny day to sit outside and knit. We are holding KITGO at RedPoint Galleries in Port Kembla, a small arty group of shops in a u shape courtyard setting, a nice cafe on the end shop, so nice for knitting, chatting, having lunch and coffee/hot chocolate etc.

I finished the Dunes Jumper and it has been blocked and is ready to be packed away for winter. I will be having a short winter in Australia only by 3 weeks shorter, as I am going back to USA for a 3 week holiday, so excited.

I have started a teapot cosy for the show next January - thought I would get started on some things early this time. It is a very slow knit being in intarsia and having so many colours across each row, I nearly ripped it after 4 rows pattern, but thought I would do a few more rows and see how I felt about it, I am slowly getting happy about deciding to keep knitting on it, I have finished the first lot of the 12 row repeat, 3 more to go for this side then I have to do it all again.

I have a 'trekking' beanie on the needles for the homeless, it is looking pretty good, they had asked if I could do beanies that were longer and well this one is long, very long.
