World Knit in Public Day is on Saturday 13 June and we will be joining with Glen Eira City Council to celebrate the day between 1 and 3pm at Caulfield Library. The afternoon will be very relaxed and community-focused — with Council providing tea, coffee, and biscuits, and inviting people to come along to knit, crochet and craft together. They also supply crochet hooks, knitting needles, pom pom makers and plenty of yarn for anyone who doesn’t currently have a project on the go, or just drops in by chance.We are looking for volunteer knitters and crocheters to come along with their projects to join in and to chat with and assist newbies.

We are looking for volunteers who can offer some informal guidance around simple stitching, crochet or knitting techniques for those who may be feeling a little unsure. There’s absolutely no expectation of formal teaching — just being available for the occasional question or bit of advice.

Email [email protected] to volunteer. A fun event to be part of.

A place to slow down, explore and meet the makers behind the craft.

Not all embroidery techniques are equally forgiving. And after working with fifteen of them, I have opinions.

Requires the most patience:
Counted techniques like Blackwork, Assisi, Bargello (this one a bit less). If you shift one square, it’s visible.

Luneville hook is up there too, but for a different reason: two hands doing completely different things at the same time. There is a learning curve.

Medium patience level:
Thread painting looks complex but is actually more forgiving than it appears. You can blend a little further than planned and it usually looks as it was planned this way.

Low patience level:
Bayeux and Sashiko. Both have structure, neither punishes you for not looking at the pattern at all times.

What technique has tested your patience the most?
