I whipped these up for newborn gifts, using a brilliant little pattern called Malibu Beanie, by Amy Miller. I used oddments of Sublime baby cashmerino silk DK, and BWM Melody. Perfect!

And again, I managed to take hardly any photos, because my hands were full of a wriggling toddler/fibre/yarn/shopping/hugging friends. Oh well!

L-R: Mill yarn, show yarn, FIBRE.

Three Bags Full..

The house we were staying at this year was *amazing* – we have found our new Bendi home! Huge, many many rooms, and even a seperate retreat. Perfect for lots of families and kids of all ages. Kangaroo spotting and sunsets/sunrises was the order of the day, and we all enjoyed chilling by the fire in the evenings.

The best bit about going up a few days early, is the time we spent actually relaxing and enjoying Bendigo itself. Lake Weeroona is spectacular, and the weather was just fabulous to match.

(But god, am I kicking myself for forgetting the pram/stroller until N drove up and joined us on the friday night! My arms were killing me!)

We popped into the wonderful Bendigo Pottery, a destination which will be a regular for us!

The show was exhausting as usual, but what a day! I got to see lots of familiar faces, and as usual got to put some faces to rav names and blogs. There was much stash snaffling, and I really enjoyed seeing lots of new vendors as well as the favourites.

On to the stash!
