Knitting is the new yoga


Anyone a knitter? The Granny Square in Newtown will supply you with all you need, and even teach you how to get started. (There's a branch in Katoomba too)

My mum was a beautiful knitter - she used to knit for Paton's pattern books. She made some beautiful garments for Ben when he was a baby, all of which I've kept.

Mum taught my sister and me how to knit and I made quite a few jumpers when I was younger. Haven't knitted for years now.

  1. That's a lot of knitting!

    My mother and her sisters were, though my mother had to stop later on in life because of arthritis in her hands.

    1. My mother had to stop for the exact same reason.

  2. Hope you don't mind me (k)nit picking but your photo shows crochet not knitting :)

    1. Well I fear you may well be correct there! At least as far as the rug goes - but what about the toys?
      How about "yarn arts are the new yoga!" ???
