Winterknit Revisited

Back in June I posted about this decorated tree near Ballan station, and the Winterknit festival.

I said at the time, "I will have to go back to Ballan in the daytime before the end of winter", and today was the day.

It was a beautiful sunny day, although the air was still chilly, so winter woollies were called for.

This tree was decorated by the Anglers Club:

And this one by the Ballan Garden Group:

This cutie is tethered to a street tree:

But it is not only the trees which are wrapped up for winter.

I should have got a closer picture of the chooks on top of this car:

Embroidered tulips on a gate:

One of Ballan's three op-shops was closed today unfortunately, but there are a few new shops open since my last walk through the town, including one which sells vintage wares and sewing goodies, Chrissie's Timeless Treasures.

    So good the Winterknits have stayed bright and cheery all winter long. The quality of the display is a credit to the organiser.
    As for the car cover, just what a green jag needs to stay warm and protected.

    Those umbrellas are wonderful and I especially like the gate.
