First Brown St Crochet Meet up

I've finally got my Sydney crochet gals together. We had our first Crochet meet up last week. and it was fun. I made Mexican, and then we all started to crochet. We've mainly all been working on stuff for the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef here in Sydney, being arranged by In Stitches for the exhibition thats opening at the powerhouse in a few weeks... we had loads to finish. and every one's work is coming along nicely.

The girls hard at work - Mhairi, Kirsty and Erin on the crochet and Cathy catching up on some mending.

Kirsty's Coral

Mhairi's Coral - is as big as her head!

It was Erin's first attempt at crochet (another successful teaching story for me - one of these days I'm going to start charging) and I think she's a natural! With very little instruction she formed this perfect nose warmer! It took me ages to work out how to increase without going all Hyperbolic, and I was trying to teach her to do hyperbolic and she went in perfect rounds! She looks cute as a button!

Entertainment was provided by Ben, and with all the crochet and clothes mending (Cathy refused to learn how to crochet, so she mended things) combined with the soft tinkle of the piano we felt like we'd been taken back to Ye Olden Days.
