More Photos from our World Wide Knit in public day
Here are some more photos from our WWKiP day :) including Marcia and Jane spinning, Joel the apprentice carpenter from Sanctuary Point (illustrating that what Grandma teaches you stays with you - good lad), Clair in instructor mode and the girls from Wernick Craft Cottage.

| Joel the apprentice carpenter from Sanctuary Point - making his Grandma proud - good on you lad, we were happy to meet you |
 |
| Everyone was intrigued by Joel's skill with the needles |
 |
| Everyone was interested in something - this was the whole point of getting out there and knitting and spinning in public when it comes down to it. Fantastic work everyone and thanks to all those who stopped to chat and those who had a knit or crochet lesson - see you the same time next year. |

Counting the Stitches... two, three, four, five
Well, it was World Knitting Day on Saturday 8 June, and World Wide Knit in Public Week activities are on the needles all around the globe. There are over 617 registered Knit in Public participants including us here in Nowra.
Hope to see many people there, with yarn on their needles and a big dose of community spirit.
We hope that the low pressure system exhausts itself by Friday so that we can have a spectacular sunny day (or at least a moderate and no rain day) on Saturday for our gathering at Junction Court.

Showground Cottge News
Nowra Men's Shed received their $60,000 community building partnership grant last week and the news made the South Coast Register.
Nowra Spinners & Weavers rated a mention in the article too. We are looking to relocate from the CWA Rooms to the former Nowra Showground Caretakers Cottage for our meetings and workshops sometime this year.

Our Community Group
Welcome to the Nowra Spinners and Weavers blog
Here we will endeavour to provide information on the activities of Nowra Spinners and Weavers Inc.
This is a community group of spinners, weavers, knitters, crocheters and felting enthusiasts who aim to promote these arts through exhibition and sales and community works.
Nowra Spinners and Weavers join with the Shoalhaven Woodcraft Society and the Shoalhaven Potters each year for an exhibition of works from the three groups. This year's Creative Moments exhibition (and sales) is on as usual at the Shoalhaven City Arts Centre, from Friday 4 - Wednesday 23 October, 2013.
In coming weeks members of our group will be out knitting in public as part of activities of World Wide Knit in Public Week (8 - 16 June 2013). Our gathering in Nowra will be held at Junction Court - at the intersections of Junction & Kinghorne Streets, in the centre of the CBD. Come along between 9.30am to 3.30pm on Saturday 15 June 2013 to raise us to the challenge of fleece to garment - can we spin up yarn and knit furiously to create a beanie or tea cosy on the day?
