gathering for Wrap With Love

For about an hour and a half yesterday afternoon, WM and I enjoyed the company of other craftspeople at the WSI Institute of TAFE Director's office.


Representatives of our seven campuses and other interested parties had gathered to hear the final tally of blankets knitted or crocheted for Wrap With Love.

I'll let the photos do the talking! (All photos taken and used with permission of the Institute Director.)

Crochet was the star of the day.



And this beauty was by far the most popular item of the day.

Is it still called "Aran" style if it's crochet?


Final tally (drum roll please)

  7. Bravo!

    I so wish that it was cool enough here to enjoy a good bit of knitting. We're up to 30+ days of >100 F. Even quilting is loosing it's luster. I'll have to do some research on crafting popsicles.
