If any larger venues (exhibition Centres) go ahead this will be a wonderful bonus. 

February in Canberra is very early BUT
better early than not at all!


We did brilliantly between Zoom, IG, FB, email and phone in 2020. What a learning curve!

Looking for a Pattern?
Finding a pattern on sigknit.com:
go to A - Z Design Index
Purchasing Patterns 
Email
me if you would like a free shade card & yarn sample
To purchase JUST the PATTERN you still need to pick a colour or colourway! Sorry, but it's a website rule. (until some smart IT person trades their suggestions for a kit for their BFF)

Pattern = knitting instructions, supporting diagrams & graphs, colour image with notes. 
For single colour designs
click on the rainbow and pick a colour.
For multi-colour designs pick a colourway to order the pattern.

Knitting kits include the pattern, plus Signatur 8ply Australian Pure New Wool yarn & hand-made buttons: plus a spare. 
It's all about colour!

Buy to knit yourself or gift your sister, mum, daughter, Nana or BF a kit they will love for the challenge!
