Sew, Art & Chat - November 2021
2021-11-21 10:30 - 14:00 | The Avenue Community Centre, 87 Eley Rd, Blackburn South, Victoria, Australia
Sew, Art & Chat is our Guilds very social day. This months it will be Quilters Who Knit!
We are very hopeful that our November Sew, Art and Chat will be held at Eley Road in person. The final decision must be made 2 weeks before the meeting date to avoid cancellation penalties. Let’s keep positive thoughts towards that goal. The November meeting will discuss all things yarn and knitting. Bring your knitting or crochet projects and any show and tell projects you would like to share. I have done so much knitting over two years of lockdown I can’t possibly show it all but I will pick out a few favourites. We will use the time as a question and answer session. I’m certain I won’t have all the answers but someone in the group will. Alternatively, we can consult Ms. YouTube. I have already been asked by Jann to demonstrate long tail cast on, three needle bind-off and short rows. Bring your questions along. I look forward to seeing you in November! Leslie
