Well, proceedings kick off today starting with the craft fair at King George Square. It is not as colourful and awesome this year on account of us not making them a garden this time and the square has not been yarn bombed either. I know, a slight bummer we will need to remedy next winter, but still the fair is worth checking out if you can get down there today. Our good friends from Biggan Designs, QSWFA and Voodo Rabbit fabrics are down there with stalls, along with our own Catamation, of course. Other stalls of interest were embroidery, tatting, bark pictures, basketry and there is felt and sewn stuff too. On display there is an origami city hall made from old cheques (from the 40′s, I think) and there is a live bit of ice sculpture too. Now that is a good way to mark the beginning of winter! The market goes until 4pm and there are lounges set up from anyone to sit and knit or craft on Adelaide Street, in the middle of King George Square and also at The Bleeding Heart Cafe on Ann Street (in the old school of arts building opposite the council building). See you there? There are demos on through the day, the ice carving as I mentioned has already begun. Hmmm it is prolly done by now, I must go back to the square to sneak a peek. Sarting about now is a soap making demo and at noon there is a glass bead making one I can’t wait to see. At 1pm is eco aware clothing and at 2 is one on spinning wheels. Which reminds me that I must resist the Kromski spindle I saw down there at The Mountain Spinnery Stall, but it is hard.

Hi Miss Vicky and Co,
Great to see all of you, who were at st George Square on Wednesday. It was a lovely day with a lot of interest. It has been very hectic here at Biggan design during the last months trying to get new patterns and knitwear out, but must see that I get down to Three monkey’s soon. I’ve just been to tired in the evenings to go anywhere!
For you who don’t know already, Henrietta and I are going to show the Biggan Design Knitwear Collection and the many ways you can wear several of the garments at Tangled Yarns on Wednesday, June 8th, at 6:30-8:30pm. You will also get a chance to try on the garments afterwards. It would be lovely to see you there. Some nibbles and champagne will start the evening off. Welcome, BigganD
