Hobart Brown Owls - June Meeting

Hobart Brown Owls had a slightly more owl-ful meeting for June, thanks to some new owls and some old.

There was lots of yarn work:

Jaci is knitting three scarves (one for each of her two year old triplets..!) and left-handed Lis is learning to crochet:

A blur of crocheting :)

I finished a crochet owl (but forgot the pipe cleaners to make his feet) and continued with the final sleeve of Marcus' jumper, which I started a while back at a different Brown Owls meeting:

Hilary and Liz made felt owls:

Liz sewing an owl body

And Virginia amazed us with her commitment; reaching hexagon 102 of about 750 in a hand sewn quilt for her little boy:

Some of the many finishing hexagons

We ended up with 1 finished (and gorgeous) and two nearly finished owls; and are looking forward to more next time - or maybe a different theme? 

Brunswick Brown Owls Recycled Scarf Project

Thank you for the inspiration rAdelaide Brown Owls!

This week we Brunswick Brown Owls are also making a scarf,

either from an old t-shirt, or jersey fabric.

You will need to bring a t-shirt and something to cut the t-shirt with (rotary cutters rock it, but so do sharp scissors). You can also buy about 50cm of jersey fabric but make sure it is at least twice the width of the average t-shirt.

Check these patterns for how to info if you want to have a go before the night or if you won’t be able to make it.

When? This Wednesday 13th July at 7pm

What? Bring some goodies for a scarf or a WIP / UFO

We also have a Facebook group, so please join us to be updated on any Brunswick specific stuff that is happening.

I’ll be bringing my sewing machine but if you have a cutting mat, please bring it along. If you want to print out your preferred pattern, do that too!

If you'd prefer to bring along your own project to work on then please do. We'd love to see you crafting it up with us!
