I am now wintering in Coffs Harbour.  The beach at Sapphire is lovely and very relaxing.  I have made two hats while here, so I am not working very hard!  One was made for Corey, the baker at Smiths Gully.  It was inspired by Corey's Purple and Red hair.  I used First Edition Fibre's beautiful 22 micron merino wool, which felts beautifully.  In fact, I hardly ever dye my own fibre now as John and Allan's wool is so lovely to use, and so easy to pack in Bluebell the campervan when I am travelling.  I need to order some red fibre so I can show my red hat lady friends Vivienne and Joyce how to make their own hats when they visit me in Coffs during July.  The photos are of Corey's hat.  It will keep him warm while baking in the early hours in the Diamond Valley.
