OMG! Look at that blanket

On the 11th of June,  friends of Fine & Sunny gathered in the shop for World Wide Knit In Public Day.
The mission was set, knit a 15cm square in any colour/needle size/stitch to join and form a blanket.

Many cups of tea and yummy slices were consumed, friends made, new techniques learnt and we even sent a lovely lady off to do some knitting while she had a pedicure!

The day was a great success with 48 squares in total, including donations from people who could not attend.

We decided that we would raffle the blanket off as a prize with all proceeds going to Sunraysia Cancer Resources, who help provide information and support for people living with cancer.

Tickets cost $2.00 each and can be purchased at Fine & Sunny.
Raffle will be drawn on 11th July, 2011.



Clear as Mud?

Did you know that we stock Mud Australia ceramics? You cannot open a lifestyle magazine these days without seeing some Mud ceramics modelling some yummy food....have a look for yourself, you will see that name pop up everywhere now! Each piece is made to order, handmade in their Sydney studio.

Although Mud Australia porcelain looks delicate it is actually pretty tough being oven, microwave and dishwasher safe!!!

There is a beautiful colour range to choose from and Mud would be the perfect gift for an engagement or wedding present or something very special for yourself........
