Wangaratta Knitting Camp
On the last weekend in May many machine knitters converged on Wangaratta for an enjoyable weekend of machine knitting. Staying at the beautiful Gateway Quality Hotel we were treated to delicious dining, comfortable accommodation, a lovely conference facility to knit in and most of all the company of other knitters. Many had the opportunity to catch up with friends and make new ones, share our craft, learn from others and have a great time. If you needed a break from knitting there was a gym to keep you active, a heated pool with sauna and spa and a bar and lounge area for that cappuccino or glass of wine and quiet catch up. Some that arrived in town early got a chance to visit the Wangaratta Woollen Mills and top their stash up that I’m sure was most certainly needed. There was a variety of machines in use for the weekend with the plastic models proving popular for their portability. Sherrill brought along her sock machine so we could see her master it at last, I think she will be taking orders in the near future. Susan and Annette found the time to untangle some yarn, but ended that process after extracting only a few metres. We got to meet the ladies from the newly formed club in North East Victoria, run by Charmane. I’m sure we will all meet again at another camp in the future wherever it may be |
