Two items of interest for Sydney Knitters:

1. Its that time of year again - the Sydney Knit In is on at the end of the month (July 28). This is a good chance to use up loose balls of wool by creating knitted squares that will be made into wraps and then donated to communities around the world to help keep people warm. I can appreciate the need to standardise the squares (25cm x25cm, 8ply wool, size 8 (4mm) needles or to obtain guage), but what's with the stitch requirement - any stitch but stocking stitch? Never mind, its because SS curls. If you can't make the day itself, there are drop off points around Sydney to donate squares.

2. Sydney Stitch n Bitch has its own blog http://sydneystitch.blogspot.com/. While very much a work in progress at the moment, we hope it will encourage people to attend either the every 2nd Monday sessions at Hart's Pub in the Rocks, or every second Tuesday at the Manly Wharf Hotel. Check out the blog for more info and soon photos of the group and their projects.
