Knitting

It's been a very long time since I did any knitting.  I guess it would be when my sons were little as in toddlers, then knitting seemed to go out of fashion and warm jumpers were cheaper to buy than pure wool, so therefore I ventured into crocheting dollies for my then alive mother and myself, progressed into making rugs or throw overs for the bed which I use when I stop at my dads to sleep.
However, I have crochet several plus some shawls, then it dawned on me I should see if I could still knit seeing as I had bits and piece of wool left over, so hence I commenced a jumper for myself and have nearly finished the front, yes knitting in the heat in the evening time getting ready for winter.
All these later crocheting and knitting is acrylic wool, but I did buy some Alpaca wool to knit later.

Sacred Heart Cathedral, Bendigo

Bendigo is about 150km from Melbourne in the State of Victoria Australia
Gold was discovered many years ago so hence many migrants came to settle and find the gold.
There are also factories of various types along with farming in the district.

Sacred Heart Cathedral was built of Sandstone in the mid to late 1800's, after a rest the Cathedral was completed in recent times being one of the largest Cathedral's in Australia.
