knitting for the Library

This is Libeary, the Mount Gambier Library's teddy.
He has 500 brothers who need a scarf each, knitted in the Library's theme colour of bright red.
It's easy: 6 stitches in 8 ply yarn on size 4.5mm needles, knit stocking stitch for 60 cm and cast off.
So the committee of Friends of the Library and anyone else who can knit or do Knitting Nancy (aka tomboy stitch) are all knitting madly to be ready for the Teddy Bears' Picnic on November 16th when Libeary will meet his toddler fan base.

knitting on Kangaroo Island

Watching pelican-feeding at Kingscote jetty.
Sockology went to Kangaroo Island with American friends.
It was cold and sunny and the long trip there and back meant plenty of time for guilt-free knitting.

Tofutsies!

Excellent fun to knit and what an interesting yarn - it's a blend of wool, soy, cotton and chitin. Chitin is made from crab shells and is claimed to be antibacterial. Hmmm. Anyway, Hannah likes them.
