Thoroughly enjoyed visiting the ABC's 10th anniversary of Wrapt with Love at their Ultimo studios held on Friday 3rd August.
Took my Mum, but left her with her knitting group who had gathered a space together, amongst the 100's of knitters. I wandered around, chatting and taking lots of photos of interesting "characters", young & old. Fascinating!
Met these two lovely ladies plonked on the floor, in a walkway (which was quite "the norm" as the ABC was packed!) Adored this crochered beret with pansies sewn on it. Gorgeous!
Young & old, school kids, yep boys too! This is just one of the 3 rooms of knitters. Not counting the Foyer, and down the Entrance lobby area, where the stage was set up.
Now this lovely lady, Frances, said her Mum knitted this jumper for her about 30 yrs ago. I love it; so iconic of Aussie! Very "Jenny Kee" almost, of Flamingo Park days!
This is my Mum, all coloured co-ordinated (aka "matchy-matchy" !) hiding under her wonderful cap!
All sorts of rugs draped over chairs and knees...
This is my favourite piece of the day! How divine & clever is this handbag!? I want it! Handmade by a lady in her 80's I believe. She knits them for friends....I wanna be her friend!!
This year more people wore unusual designs, more so than last year. This fabulous skirt took my eye; great colours.
Dick Smith waiting his turn....very stern....
Angela Catterns interviewing the school kids. She started the whole ABC involvement 10 yrs ago, not expecting it to grow so huge; 1000 knitters turning up!
They came, they sat, they knitted
How cute is this little guy, cuddling Lady Ba Ba..!
They came from near & far, boys & girls, these students from Pennant Hills High.
