A new markets have started in my home town of Albion Park, NSW Australia, they are the Coastal Crafts Handmade Markets (CCHM). The first markets were held on 16 June and with 32 stalls was a great day.
They are held in Centennary Hall which is great as weather will not affect the markets at all, and the first was a very wet and cold day.
I will be in USA for the second markets on 28 July, and I am going to see if my Mum will look after my stall for me, otherwise I have talked with another knitting friend who is going to try and get a stall with her machine knitting husband and if they do, she will look after my stall if needed.
I did really well on the first stall, it was hard to know what to knit for it, so I had a good mix of baby, kids and adult items along with some cotton dish cloths. The dish cloths sold out which really amazed me.
I am knitting away madly again so I have some more nice items for the stall in July.
I went to Wangaratta on the long weekend while visiting friends at The Rock, NSW. We had a great time, well I had a great time at the Woollen Mills, walked out with such a large bag of wool. We then went to Beechworth and another visit to The Ardent Alpaca with another nice purchase of alpaca yarn for a scarf for me. It is knitting up so beautiful and soft.
I knitted a pair of fingerless gloves for a friends son who is at Uni at Bathurst, very cold winters there, and I have also finished a pair of Fetching for a woman at work, and a very nice purple cotton and bamboo swing dress in size 2 for a knitting friend and she also bought the pink bamboo and cotton swing dress for her friend with twin girls.
