Three of our members met at the museum coffee shop for morning tea. The coffee shop is now located on the 4th floor of the museum with stunning views over Hyde Park and the city.
Following morning tea, the three of us spent much time viewing the wonderful drawings of the Scott Sisters, awing over the very fine detail contained within each one. It has opened our eyes again to the tiny life that resides in our gardens.
One of our members had to leave early, and the remaining two enjoyed lunch on the balcony of the coffee shop in glorious sunshine, followed by a walk through the City.
As were were all on public transport, show and tell can be a little difficult. So show & tell this moth is once again brought to you via technology and emails.
Gerri has completed her work on the veil and it is now in Ulladulla in it's rightful place.
Jenny had knitted herself a hat using leftover yarn from a cardigan. She had been on the lookout for slouchy hat patterns and found this one, 'Springtime in Philadelphia', free on Ravelry. The hat was supposed to be made in a fingering yarn, which is about a 4ply in Australian yarn. Jenny's yarn was an 8ply Morris Empire, a 100% merino yarn, and 3.75mm needles were used to make it a bit tighter. It's still a little big, just how Jenny likes them.
This is the beginning of another hat of Jenny's. The brown hat above needed to be more 'slouchy', so with this one Jenny has used the beginnings of a circular shawl pattern. It will be knitted out to the desired width, increasing every alternate row, then decreased until her head circumference is reached. Then a rib band will be added. The yarn is left over Crimson 'Savanah yarn (70% wool 30% alpaca) which Jenny bought last year from Bendigo Woollen Mills and use to make this Jumper.
As our Guild building is still undergoing renovations, I'll wonder where we will meet next month and what we will get up to. Please join us in late May to check us out.
