Weekending - Ballarat beer festival 2021

This weekend we went to Ballarat for the 10th Ballarat beer festival, and our 10th Ballarat Beer festival. Yes, ew have prefect attendance.

We caught the train up - I can't actually remember when I last caught a train. I kept trying to get a picture of the scarf I am knitting with cheep out the window, but it just didn't work. But trust me, there are sheep in those fields.

The day itself was lovely. We started with a run around a different lake - Lake Wendoree, rather than our local Albert Park Lake.

And the festival itself was warm, but not too warm, in the shade at least. Everyone was a little bit huddled under the trees!

There was the traditional beer-farm petting zoo, with lots of goats!

But also some sheep. We didn't go in, just sipped a beer and watched the animals do their thing.

It was as COVID-Safe as possible, but these signs cracked me up - no-one understood what "lanes" they were talking about. This is why we are only allowed out when we have zero cases, which we've just done a week of.

We had friends there, including Tony and Ingrid, who we had not seen since last Ballarat beer fest, and Kris and Lisa, perennial favourites.

Then today, Kris drove us back to Melbourne -

here is my attempt to take a photo of the rather longer scarf in a car. Now I'm getting on top of the house work, and swatching for my Ranunculas and

Love Note sweaters. More on that once decisions have been made, opinions on which of these I should use for Ranunculus are welcome in the comments.

Geogradiant MKAL Part 1 - that was unexpected (spoilers)

Stephen West released the first MKAL clue on Thursday night. I started knitting it without looking at spoilers. When I got up on Friday he had sent through an "alternative" clue one. I then went and had a look at the spoiler thread to try to work out what was going on. Which was that some people thought the pattern looked like a "German hate symbol". I knit on anyway, since I was half-way through. Then he took down the original clue, replacing it with a mitred square in garter stitch. The Ravelry forums and Instagram are a complete shit-show, even though Rav is being moderated. It's been a bit disheartening, having something that is usually quite light and fun weighed down with all this. I admire Stephen's quick and sensitive response to this drama. I also feel that anything can look like anything if you squint. To me this looks like a Celtic knot. I think mine is pretty, and I'll knit on through all crises.

Linky Wednesday - the one with the drama

The drama about the Stephen West MKAL continues, and I can't be bothered with it. It's meant to be a fun, interesting, communal knit and and that's not what this year has turned in to. Stephen has done his best in a difficult situation, but I'm just not feeling it. Meanwhile, Israel is at war, and we (as a country) are going to vote "no" on a referendum that asks for basic consideration for Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders. So yeah, lots of turmoil here. It's very tiring. I'm knitting a sock and considering what happens next. Luckily the reading was dramatic in a good way. I'm reading a NetGalley review copy of Last Summer at the Lake House and it's great. Super dramatic family drama about three sisters who loose their father unexpectedly and then find out that the family has secrets. I 've nearly finished it and I don't know what I'm going to read next. I've got a bit of a break between review books, so maybe Sta

Mussleburgh musings

I made a Mussleburgh hat earlier in the year, and even though I thought I was following the directions exactly it did not come out quite right. It was a little bit loose. My head is 51 cm, my gauge was 7 stitches, so according to the pattern I knit the right size. It's also a little bit shorter than I would like it. Too long for a beanie, too short for a good turn-up. I couldn't work out why. I still wore it, but it was not quite right. When I decided to knit one for Elise I knew I wanted to make it longer, and tighter. After I finished Elise's (with 24 fewer stitches) I realised something about mine: Now, this is a knit tube. I know how to knit tubes. When I make sleeves or socks, they don't balloon out in the middle. So I decided to reblock it. The instructions actually specifically say to fold it inside each other after blocking, but I probably folded it and dried it on my head, because that's how I block my hats. Not this time: Now it's longer and thinner
