My bags are packed, I'm ready to go

Elin is making sure we all know where she is from
as the deadline closes on knitups
for the National Gallery.

Joan hasn't got a website, or a blog,
but she has knitting needles.
She sent her piece from Koonakoola WA


A couple months ago, I had the pleasure of attending a week long
knitting class with Jenny Dowde and Lynne Johnson, Jenny is
a freeform Queen, and a woman after my own heart.
She is not interested in patterns but
prefers to take her yarn for a walk
Lynne has expert knowledge on all loopy things
and is definitely a woman of fibre.
Jenny sent the yellow piece in to prepare for
my August project,
The Knitted Convenience.

And just before the car is stuffed
with knitting, yarn, pajamas, champagne,
a green zombie and a stick;

Yesterday I went on air to talk about being a guerilla
in a Gallery, and a toilet.
Do you think Jay Katz is feeling the love?

His wig is a free pattern Ravelry, very cool,
but a tad hard to work out.

See you in Australia's Capital City.

Wow what fun, all these works are amazing. Hey, when do you leave town for our capital. I have pieces for the project that I can drop off if you are still here. Not sure that I will be at work in Newtown tomorrow seem to have come down with the dreaded lurgie......... Hoping to make it to Canberra next weekend.

Lady P said...

Ohhhh I live for this knitting vicariously through the Grrl stuff! have a whale of a time, let no corner going untrimmed and let the fiber flow
I am secretly now in love with Jay, but under the one condition that he never reveal his true self - the wig the biggest part of the allure for me

Ha! That pink wig kills me. Would have loved to participate in your National Gallery project- sadly, all out of woolies and couldn't get it together in time. Just love the knits you got and glad to see you have lots of awesome beauties to put up.
