Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!
Oi! Oi! Oi!

Whether you're throwing another prawn on the barbie, slip, slop, slappin to go out in the sun, or hanging your washing on your hills hoist, being an Aussie means different things to each of us.

So what does Australia mean to you? Well we're giving you the opportunity to show us! So start getting creative!

[Pobie]

I would so love to enter. I have been thinking about all these things I could do for it but . . . I am going away for 2 1/2 weeks on Friday so unless I get something done before then, I'm out

[lillismum]

i'd love to enter but th eno commercial patterns rule, rules me out, i'm a beginner knitter and can only follow a pattern not make one up of my own, so maybe next year

[Admin]

If you fired an email to the pattern maker I highly doubt they would decline And there are some free for all use pattern links in the knitting forums

[Vicky]

i had an idea to enter but I am only a new beginner knitter and was going to get some "motherly help" on the harder bits - but as it has to be all my own work i guess i will have to wait til next year too

[Admin]

I'm sure motherly help will be allowed

[belindah]

Ok...so there's no category for a sling But I'm gonna make one just for fun Was telling DH what it was going to be last week, and he's even excited
