Queen Victoria will be most amused

if you would like to be involved....
I am off to answer questions about a number of things at the local art and craft centre. They are running a yarn day called "Twisted".  My role today is to answer questions about two local knitting groups and the "challenge" we are setting for the state's annual Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society show. 
One of the local knitting groups meets in the library once a month. There has never been a lot of space but when the rebuilding has finished we may have more space and I am going to make inquiries about a second group and other possible meeting times because some people don't find the Saturday afternoon convenient. There is also a charity knitting group which might like some of their members to meet at the library. I am going to  be sounding people out about that too  -  and other things.
Then there is the bookshop group. The numbers vary and the space is limited - but we could always spill out into the atrium. It brings people into the shop and raises funds for a charity - the Fred Hollows Foundation (you can look that up.) It's a friendly, chatty group. People help one another.
And of course there is Queen Victoria's Challenge to consider. She will be 200 next year. That's quite an age. We thought we should celebrate it. Queen Victoria was a very able craftswoman across a number of areas. Her Majesty has provided us with a picture of herself at her spinning wheel. She will be keeping a stern eye on our efforts. Her Secretary has given me information to pass out and I am taking more. I hope her Subjects will be interested.
There will  be spinners, weavers, knitters, crocheters, lace makers, embroiderers and more up there today - anything you can do with yarn of some sort or another.  
I will be interested to see who comes along. There should be quite a few local people. I will know at least some of them.
And I might even manage to get some knitting done!
