April 09
We had over thirty members turn up for Aprils meeting, it was terrific to see such a strong turnout.
Eleanor brought us up to date with what has been happening locally in the world of machine knitting, including the results of the Sydney Royal Easter show – machine knitting entries.
Carol Bright was the overall winner with a lovely purple cardigan, in the childrens and babies wear category Dorothy Welch took home third prize.
There were over 15 entries in the machine knitting category, one of the judges this year was Helga Guyot.
Helga also happened to be the demonstrator at this months meeting, sharing with us lots of tips and suggestions for making life easier when machine knitting. As always Helga is extremely knowledgeable about her subject and as well as demonstrating she is able to take questions and answer any queries we have along the way without losing track of what she is doing!
For this months show and tell Roybn brought in a hand knitted baby jacket including leg warmers and a hat.
Roybn also had time to machine knit a scarf in chenille
A new member Lorna brought in two items she had made on her passap ‘pink’ machine, one was a pair of heel flap socks and the other was a lovely lace scarf complete with beads on the edging.
And finally John brought in a multicoloured and patterned ladies jacket that he is currently working on, here modeled by Margaret.
