Enter and WIN this month's competition. Calling all Mad Hatters.

Inspirational offers to all creatives who are 'in the know'.

Rent-A-Rack. Fashion has always been art, and retail ‘galleries’ like Design-A-Space are becoming more common, bringing together designers looking to break into the racks, and buyers seeking unique wearable art.

Babushka Cast Offs. For Melbourne designer Morgan Wills, one person’s cast off is another’s pull on… or a new twist on the babushka doll! Recycling scraps of old jumpers into scarves and dolls is a growing business for this issue’s Creative Genius.

The Family. The Austin Craft Mafia is the Don of the worldwide crafty cosa nostra, an organisation of independent business owners representing multiple creative disciplines, and offering resources for small businesses through their website, books and television.

10 Winter Loves - Edwina Bolger

Edwina Bolger of Loope loves working with natural fibres, texture and colour, and exploring the versatility the knitting process allows. So who better to ask about what she loves about winter. Edwina’s ten favourite things about winter...

1	Red wine tastes better in winter
2	My four blanket doona
3	Being able to wear lots of wool – what a fabulous material, so versatile and it dyes beautifully
4	My two little ones all clean and snug in their flannelette pyjamas ready for bed
5	I get to wear my divine black lambs wool coat. I want to be buried in it!
6	Being able to wear a different hand knitted scarf every day – I have quite a few!
7	Being able to keep my head and ears cosy with a wonderfully soft, hand knitted hat, essential for my endless visits to the park
8	Winter is the perfect season to knit; it gets a little hot in summer!
9	A day inside baking on those cold grey days
10	My birthday
