Break out the sequins and prepare to dance BRISBANE because VELVET REWIRED the show opens from 16 November in the Raine & Horne Wynnum Spiegletent at the Wynnum Fringe, ahead of a season at Sydney Opera House.

It’s a love letter to DISCO and you HAVE to be there!

VELVET REWIRED is a big, bold, and beautiful production staring the iconic MARCIA HINES.

The show features 17 major hit songs that dip deep into the disco psyche and are universal in their joyousness – including If You Could Read My Mind, Born to be Alive, Everybody Dance, Shake Your Groove Thing, It’s Raining Men, Don’t Leave Me This Way, Turn the Beat Around, No More Tears (Enough is Enough), He’s The Greatest Dancer, Boogie Wonderland, Disco Inferno and Boogie Wonderland.

It is inspired by Studio 54, a club famous for its wild parties and hedonism, but also ultimately for its cultural acceptance and equality on the dance floor.

Holiday Hat Knitting Patterns

I wanted to share some winter hat knitting patterns that weren’t too Christmas themed that you’d have to stop wearing them after the holiday rolls around. This way if you want to knit them as gifts you don’t have to worry that they won’t be useful for another year.

The Holly Jolly Hat from Rosie Posie Knit Co on Etsy gives you lots of options, with four different sizes for babies through adults and two different options for the main colorwork — reindeer or coffee/hot chocolate mugs. The pattern also includes trees and snowflakes. They’re made with worsted weight yarn in four colors.

The Holiday Doodle Hat by Jamie Lomax (found on Ravelry) is similar in style but with different kinds of motifs worked in DK weight yarn. The pattern includes five pages of colorwork motifs so you can mix and match colors and designs to make totally unique hats. It’s sized for toddlers, bigger kids and adults, and you could also use the motifs to make a loop scarf or cowl if you wanted.

This is an old pattern but a classic re-creation of the moose hat Kevin McCallister wears in the movie Home Alone from designer VRock Knits. The pattern uses DK weight yarn in two colors and is made to fit a smallish adult head. The colorwork is presented in a chart.

Technically this one reads Christmas, since it is a Christmas pudding hat, but I couldn’t resist sharing it because it makes me smile. It’s from Etsy seller Arty Crafty Alice and is sized for little ones from preemie up to around age 3.

The chunky reindeer on these hats from Patternery are easy and quick to stitch up. Worked in super bulky yarn, you have the option of making this a roll-brimmed hat or knitting ribbing, and you can make it snow across the top of the hat if you want.
