Copied email from Bronwen last week:

Hi Barb, Woops, I still haven’t updated the blog, but have been looking at a lot of others. I also have my new laptop (which is slightly distracting!) Are you still available this Wednesday night for knit1purl1 activities? Talk to you soon, bron


Well, as you know Bron, it has been a hectic period. Writing the annual report and managing an audit for two separate organisations and two agm's has completely side swiped me. But always in the middle of busy'ness' along comes someone who helps you see the true path...





Let me introduce "Chipper" crocheted by Omar Misa in Launceston. I love my new purchase, is this chap chipper or not? He's just so good I am going to have to....




yep put another picture in. Behind Chipper sits my own ball of wool, hardly diminshed since I started, but tonight its clickety clack.
Anyway if anyone else is reading our blog, Bronwen and I are curating an exhibition here in Australia at CraftACT: Craft and Design Centre in Canberra, Australia's very own designed capital city. It is scheduled for July this year and will delve into the world of knitting and blogging. We have been scouring blog sites and I can't belive the plethora of knitting happening as I type. I am totally transfixed by this cyber world of knitting, upon reading a site, you want to know more about knitting projects, and life in the world of turtle knits or tangelled angel knits or the class people house, etc
Bronwen - here is a list of sites I have visited. Please post your sites. Lets meet next tuesday and make contact with some knitting critters. I was just checking on some and went down another new path of knitters eek.
This list is not in any order other than the random way I found them:
yarn harlot
knit 'n' bitch
knitting in public - doesn't seem to have had any recent action though
knittie nautie
neddles on fire
wendy knits
two pointy sticks
supergirl knits
tangelled angel knits
olannboa
cliketyknits
turtle knits
winona queen
tea and cakes
a simple yarn
tales of the knitty
knitty.com
safforn knits
the classy people house
I am still new to the blog thing - Bronwen next week we will have to work out how to make these links if possible. Looking forward to your list,
Barb

warm jewel said...

Hi Barb, I am following your blog with interest...it is developing at the same slow rate as mine...Im relieved to see! However, I have knitted my first 'warm jewel' and am onto the second one...just in time for summer of course, but they are just prototypes and have a fair way to go yet. love to you, Sonia
