Another busy afternoon yesterday.

All this knitting that’s taking place keeps us mentally stimulated, warms our laps as the garments take shape and friendships rekindled, new ones made and our laughter genuine.

We have a new permanent home for our Wednesday evening community knit.

Arthur Street School in their new library. We are spoilt, thank you Kim for sharing your incredible space with us.

We had quite a few giggles during the night, and a bit of crochet n knitting chatter! (that’s not at all uncommon!) 🤓🤭🤩

Today you’ll find us at The Corner Store Cafe at Toitu Museum - 1 to 3pm.

Then we might be a bit quiet for a day or 2, until Sunday arrives. I promise to share some great wool images from Woolfeast in Chch ❤️🧶❤️

Here’s a small glimpse into the fun we have.

Listen to the chatter, then the silence once the group realised I was recording 🤓🤭😁😍

Last night we had a very busy night at Eureka while we continued knitting during our ’Colourwork Knit Along’. The garments are coming along so quickly, we are all helping each other when we get stuck or are unsure.

That’s one of the biggest aspects of Crofters Yarn I love the best. The mentoring, the encouragement and the sharing of our skills so freely with each other. Tonight we learnt that there’s more than one way to ‘spit splice’, who knew 🤭

Today you’re going to find us at:

12:30 to 3pm - Cobb & Co

6:30 to 8:30pm - Arthur Street School library. The Library is in the south end of the school in a stand alone building with the gym. There is a carpark up behind the gym, there is a driveway between the south end of the school and the DCC Arthur St playground. There is also many parks on Arthur Street. You can access the library from the school steps. We’ll have our Street sign out by the library door. The whole school is very well lit up at night.

Tomorrow you’ll find us at:

1 to 3pm - The Corner Store cafe at Toitu museum

It’s so exciting seeing all you amazing knitters join us at our community venues. Crofters Yarn is busier than normal and loves seeing all the creating and conversations going on.

*remember when we use the word ‘knitter’ we are meaning all fibre crafts.
