We are thrilled to once again bring you #loveloKAL & #loveloCAL, a year-long make-along where we will be celebrating our down-under designers, yarn producers, dyers and local yarn shops.
#loveloKAL & #loveloCAL is being hosted by Gayann Walker of the Fibremates Youtube Channel and Karina Moore of Louie & Lola Yarns.
So many of our fabulous Knit for the Girls sponsors have their own special events happening this week in support of the Uni fundraiser, that we thought they deserved a blog post all of it's own.
Here's just a snippet of the pink boobie yarnie fun to be found between 5-12 October.
We are thrilled to have collaborated with talented knitwear designer Susanna Kaartinen of Sanna & Co. on her new Alma Cardigan design.
Knit in our Merino Possum DK yarn, this colourwork cardigan features a scandinavian style colourwork pattern along the hem and sleeves.
We're excited to be headed to Canada very soon for our first ever in-person event, Knit City Toronto, being held from 17-19 in the Westin Harbour Castle in downtown Toronto.
We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Gayann Walker of Australian knitting podcast Purlfect Pairings, when she visited Tasmania over the Easter long weekend.
Gayann and I chat all things yarn - from our favourite yarn bases and knitting patterns, to how Louie & Lola came to be as well, as some of our recent collaborations and the joys of becoming a spinner.
On behalf of team 'Knit for the Girls 2023', Olga & Sam of Thread & Maple, Tracie & Jodi of Grocery Girls and ourselves, THANK YOU!!
