The excitment is building- Behind the scenes at the 2011 Scarf Festival

The annual Scarf Festival is coming!
In a moment of insanity, I sent my entry without actually sending in my scarf-hopefully it arrived safely!! The judges are now hard at work and the festival opens on Friday 24 June at the National Wool Museum in Geelong and runs till 21 of August 2011.

Bubblewrap new work

The latest bubblewrap scarf. My exhibition 'Bubblewrap' opens in only four weeks, so I really should step away from the computer and get busy making more bubbles!

Back to work

Autumn is the perfect time of year to get some work done. An upcoming exhibition of my scarves confirmed for July this year is also increasing my motivation to get back to bubbles.

The final twist

I have finally cast off the last twist of my handknitted spiral scarf and I am hoping to try this technique of partial knitting on the knitting machine. Now the only question is- to felt or not to felt??

Noisy visitors

A very noisy flock of about 100 of these wild corellas spent the day in my back garden feasting on the neighbour's almonds and my unripe apples and then throwing them on to the ground. It was really spectacular, and my neighbour's attempts at looking scary and making noises to save his nuts were almost as entertaining as the antics of the birds!!

Happy New Year of the Rabbit

Meet Eric- a rescued pet rabbit who now resides on my back verandah. He has not been enjoying all the hot weather but has still managed to chew through 2 power cords and 3 pot plants this week!!
Happy new year of the rabbit!

Too hot for knitting

After 2 days of 40 degrees, my plans to finish hand knitting this twisted spiral scarf failed. It really is too hot to knit! I am hoping a weekend cool change will be enough inspiration to finish the last few spirals as it has been on the needles since last winter!.
