Craft

We are a friendly group that meets 9.30am – 12.30pm on the second Monday of the month to share our talents with one another over a cup of tea/coffee.  Sometimes we will have demonstrations or projects you can participate in, if you wish.  To make an enquiry please email the club.

Craft has ended for 2025 we will resume on the 2^nd Monday of the Month in 2026, our first session commencing on Monday 9th February.

Betty Collins and Lois Staunton were delighted with the result of the KOGO KNITTED SQUARE CHALLENGE.   With the added help from Wattle Park Ladies Golf Club, St. Helena Probus & friends, our Members reached a grand total of 582 SQUARES.  182 squares above the Target.     Well done everyone!

In October our ladies made these beautiful Beaded Angels.
In November Cheryl McCowan taught us how to make these fabric baskets.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from NBBC Crafters

KOGO Challenge

We will keep the Kogo challenge going throughout the year - lets see how many squares our club can knit for KOGO, to be made into cot blankets and adults blankets.  If you need wool,  we do have 8 Ply yarn we can provide. If you have wool at home, it doesn’t matter what colour you use; Stripes, Multi-colour or Plain are all acceptable.

The guidelines for knitters:

• 8 Ply Wool
• Garter Stitch – (Knit every row)
• Square must measure 20cm x 20cm, so check your tension. Generally, 40 stitches on either 4mm or 4.5mm Needles (for tighter knitters) will give this measurement.
• All ends must be sewn in

If you have any questions, please speak to Betty Collins or Therese James (Bridge), Bev Brown or Gayle Slessar (Bowls) or Lois Staunton (Craft).  Please leave your donated squares at the Club in the box marked KOGO CHALLENGE.
