The beanie festival was on lucky us and we enjoyed many hours there enjoying the colour, excitement and joy of the festival. Covid raised its head and we were in lockdown in the caravan park for three days.
Not to let that dampen our time we shared skills. My friend taught me to crotchet a beanie, I taught her how to make a tetra pak plate having taken some with me and tools.
We both achieved our goals I with beanie and crotched bag to match and her with an etched plate for me to bring home and print.
I was inspired and sent off the bag and beanie to a friend for her birthday with other things she was thrilled. So then it was beanie making many have a beanie now and they have even travelled to America, Malaysia, and London. I wanted to be a part of the Festival and so having created ten beanies sent them off labelled to the festival in January this year nothing like being in first and organised.
It was a true delight and full circle to have a parcel arrive lately and it had beanies returned but also a little cheque as I had sold four beanies yeah what fun and how cool to be part of the festival and in spirit at least be there in Alice once again.
