July saw another strong turnout at the Epping club monthly meeting.
Once again Eleanor brought us up to date with knitting events both recent and up coming, reminding us that there is a Passap workshop on Tuesday 28th July at Fay Butchers in Sydney.
Topics to be covered include necklines and start to finish, cost is $45 including lunch. For more details and how to book, please visit the MacKnit website.
Another month with lots of show and tell. Examples of machine knitting, hand-knitting and garments with both! Again the items brought in were varied from blankets to baby outfits and even unique one off’s. As you would expect all using various yarns, colours and techniques ranging from double bed jacquard to weaving and even some crocheting thrown in.
Before I list the photo’s, if anyone has a favorite pattern, hint or tip that they would like to share with other members. Please e-mail me and I’ll put it in the members only section.
Audrey brought in this very delicate scarf that she made on her bulky using kid mohair in lilac knitted over 700 rows.


Margaret, mentioned that the top she brought in was just a plain top. When you look at it, it’s actually very detailed. It’s a black top made with wool and boucle and the front edges are trimmed with crocheted ribbon. Unfortuantely the flash makes it look grey, but in actual fact it’s black.


Margaret also brought in a sleeveless top in red.


Larrisa made a complete babies outfit on her Brother machine using a mock moss stitch, complete with leggings.



Lorraine went sock mad this month, making four pairs in total on her Singer machine, two for wearing out and the other two for wearing in bed!




Jill brought in a personalised baby blanket made on her Passap machine.


And another baby blanket this time by Robin, made on her Brother machine.


Robin also brought in a range on childrens garments including a lovely blue and white hat which I forgot to photograph! Sorry Robin, however these are the others items that she made.







Eleanor brought in a work in progress a woven garment in triangles.


Another Margaret brought in a sleeveless top in black but once again the flash doesn’t do it justice.


And lastly an example of a cut and sew neckline, made on a Passap machine.
