Now we’ve all had a rest and a chance to catch our collective breath after a very fun Sheep Show, we are pleased to say that The Bendigo Project will be back in 2027!

We have some plans in mind to make it an even better experience next year, and we would love your help with our plans.

Here is a link to a 1-minute survey that will help guide what we do in 2027.

As a thank you for your input, we will pick one responder at random on 18th September to choose a pattern of their choice from the 2025 or 2026 Bendigo Project Collections.

Thank you Gayann!

We would like to officially thank our friend Gayann, of the podcast Fibremates. She helped us so much this year by hosting our online Cast On and our Catch up parties via zoom. She brings a lot of joy, enthusiasm and kindness with her to these events, and we are so grateful to have had her support in running these aspects of The Bendigo Project.

With Love,

Susanna, Vera, Kath, Shelley and Tess.
