I think it’s called a “baby doll” sheep. Lovely vlog, thanks for sharing.

[@PlatypusKnitting]

Thank you! I looked up the babydoll and they are so cute! They look like walking pouffy clouds 😍. I couldn't spot a picture of one with locks as long as the one I spotted though.

Your Dion sweater is going to be stunning 🤩

Thanks, it's such a beautiful design and I am SO happy with my yarn and colours!

@@PlatypusKnittingThe Tarndie yarn is a delight to knit with and next to skin soft. It does pill a lot, but that’s a small price to pay.

I really enjoyed your Bendigo wrap up! I appreciate you showcasing some sellers that you didn’t buy from - there were some new to me names there that I never would have found otherwise (and am definitely going to keep an eye on some pottery from I Cast Mending…)

[@PlatypusKnitting]

Thanks, I’m glad you got something out of it! I Cast Mending was amazing. Thinking about it again, I can’t decide between the frog and the tree stump. Which was your favourite?

some great items you scored there! my dad is a wood turner and you've got me thinking I should see if he could make me some yarny related items. he already has made me a yarn butler. there is another saori weaving studio in victoria called artweaver studio. it used to be in kyneton but she moved back to Melbourne recently and she does 1 day workshops for people to try it out. I've done about 4 of them and you can make 1-2 decent sized wall hangings in a day usually. it's called artweaver studio. it's so much fun!

That’s awesome that your dad is a wood turner! Do you use the yarn butler a lot? Such a meaningful tool for you 🥰 I’d heard of artweaver but haven’t checked them out yet. Trying to resist until I have space to get a loom hehe. Pretty impressed that you can make that much in one day. Although I guess once you get the hang of the movements then it’s really easy to get into a flow.

The weaving you showcased was from a stall called Barlert Bagoorrk Moorroop ( Strong Women Sprit ) First time showcasing our work at Bendigo sheep and wool show . We are 4 friends And are all local women , with different interests , Trina Dalton -oogjes is our beautiful First Nations friend who is passionate about her country and weaving in all forms but her passion is in basket weaving with native fibres , Tania O’Connell is a fabulous weaver and knitter , creating one off designs . Gillian Mc millian masters color work in her knitting and weaving ( her socks are divine ) and lastly myself Honnie Cameron ( Twig -Weave & Twine ) I am the lady responsible for the macrame and woven wall hanging !!

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for sharing all of that information Honnie! I love your work, you all make such beautiful items 🤩!!! I hope you had a wonderful time at the Show. I definitely will pop by again next year and hopefully I won't be in such a rush and will be able to stay and chat more. In the meantime... found the group on instagram and following!

The needle felting needles have barbs on them, which is what causes the felting. Your awls would have smooth shafts, so wouldn’t felt the wool.

Ah of course, that makes so much sense! Thanks for the heads up 😇.
