We are running a series of workshops where we share how to make a little bento bag, a rope bowl, a tie-dye shirt, a crochet necklace and a felt brooch. We are having a delightful time with this great multicultural community at Inala.

We will have the ubiquitous democracy sausage sizzle and an assortment of baked goodies from our members. We will fire up the barbie at 8 am and cook until we run out of our delicious butcher (Gordon & Luxton) sausages.
So come, get a sausage, a cake and a cold drink…. oh and you had better vote too!

Join us in making beanies for ABC’s Kat Feeney’s project for the charity GIVIT. We are knitting and crocheting beanies to keep Brisbane heads warm. Acrylic yarn is best to use as it’s easiest to care for. Drop off at ABC studios at Southbank or our premises at Auchenflower by or on 30 June 2023.
Need a beanie pattern?
There are lots of free patterns on the internet. Google is your friend! For example, if you can knit only plain (knit) stitch, try googling “garter stitch beanie pattern free beginners” or something like that.
Also, if you’re unsure of a technique, do a search on YouTube where you will find many helpful videos.
In the meantime, here’s a pattern for beginner/intermediate knitters.
