MACHINE KNITTERS ASSOCIATION OF VICTORIA INC. 

  Wangaratta Live-In Weekend

On the last weekend in May many machine knitters converged on Wangaratta for an enjoyable weekend of machine knitting.  There was a variety of machines in use for the weekend with the plastic models proving popular for their portability.  We got to meet the ladies from the newly formed club in North East Victoria, run by Charmane. Check out more photos on this link  Wangaratta Live-In Weekend 2023

INSPIRATION WITH INTARSIA
From the Signatur Newsletter, May 2023, Jane writes that Orna in Florida has sent her some great shots as she progressed through her Frida Khalo Jacket. So she designed this as an indulgence for herself.
