I signed up for last night's FNWF before realising that I 'd be out. Ballarat's city council had the first in this year's series of Backyard Taster events promoting multi-culturalism and community. It was a lovely evening to be outside enjoying music, dancing (we saw a performance by young Aboriginal girls and a Maori haka), a display of rare trades and chatting with friends. Earlier in the day I'd responded to a last-minute appeal for cakes for a fund-raising stall at the event so spent a hot afternoon in the kitchen. There was a long queue for food at the event so we ate dumplings at a nearby restaurant instead, (yum!) then came home to watch the first episode in the new series of the Dr Blake Mysteries. Have you seen this show? Are you a fan? We love it - good plots plus it's set in beautiful Ballarat, so how could we not?
So - my FNWF was really a solo knitting session during the day, finishing a teeny weeny beanie and beginning another. Isn't it ridiculously small! Of course it is - it's for a premmie baby. Earlier this week I came across an appeal from Li'l Aussie Prems Foundation for little green beanies for its 6th annual Wear Green for Premmies event and these are the results so far. I'm looking forward to more craftiness today.

What a sweet little green beanie. I hope you get some crafting done today.
I can see that you had a great FNwF, just different friends :-)
Thanks for info re Dr Blake; somehow missed it when it was on BBC, might have to buy the first one to see what it is like, sounds good.

Hello fellow FNWF. What a fun evening you had! What a lovely thing to do- making preemie hats. Well done for such a good cause.
P.S. Yes big Dr Blake fans here in the UK.I remember Craig and Nadine from Neighbours!
Love the little green beanie. Sounds like you had a fun Friday night.
Sounds like you had lots of fun! Ballarat is such a great city, one which I visit often as my Uncle and Aunt live there. Sweet knitting for a great cause and I, too, love Dr Blake, I missed the first episode but picked it up on iView so didn't miss out in the end!
Oh the beanies are just wonderful, and such a pretty green yarn as well! I'm over here visiting from both the FNWF and also the no fuss swappers! ...... Love your blog name and how it came about!
