To continue from the last post, we were walking along the beach and as we neared people I was handed the lead and told "its a woman's accessory". I ask you!
This knitting project has been so much fun. Baby Tree of Life Throw from Lion Brand free patterns. I've actually finished the body of the throw (another row of trees at the top) and about 1/3 of the edging is done. Only 7 more weeks but I think I'll get there.
I don't think members of the Loom'nUs weavers cooperative will mind me showing pics of our exhibition on in Te Awamutu at present. We had the opening of Oarsome Waipa last Friday and it runs till next Sunday. This exhibition represents each artists interpretation of what the Waipa area means to them in terms of land, rivers, lakes, outdoor activities. Just incidentally the World Rowing Competitions are on at Lake Karapiro at present.
Two very clever members did the display for us. It was a challenge as the screens I had been promised were nonexistent as was a lot of other things including signage. I think we got a more interesting display by having to think outside the box. There are a couple of other areas with work displayed as well. The blue striped blanket is my work, Karapiro - Morning Mist and I have a couple of scarves in the top image.
The opening was the start of the Te Awamutu SCREAM Festival and our exhibition was included in that. Shock, horror, I had to make a speech! As we had already had the Mayor and someone else talk I was short and sweet. While in Te Awamutu I met up with quite a few people and friends I had known from way back.
Exhibition at the same time as the Rowing - that's smart thinking. We collectively need to do more of that.
ReplyDeleteHmm good idea but in actual practice there is so much entertainment out at the lake folks are just staying on then going home. Despite that our sales are not bad and we have spread the word about weaving.
