As the Alice Springs Beanie Festival celebrates its 30th and final year, we're exploring the weird and wonderful handmade creations — and the characters working hard behind the scenes — that have made the annual event so special.

Yesterday I had a fun Crafternoon with some of my family. I decided to stitch design from her stick and stitch range onto an op shop towel.
Really enjoyed making it and now am looking forward to some more stitching fun 😁

The love fest isn’t over 💗

Jumpers & Jazz in July 2025 completely cleared us out.

We started the festival with thousands of Love Bombs… and by the final weekend, they were gone. Every single one. Our volunteers were crocheting madly just to try and keep up with demand.

And honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way.

As we now start preparing for Jumpers & Jazz in July 2026, we’re officially calling on our Yarntopians and crafty legends to help us replenish our Love Bomb supplies.

💗 What are Love Bombs?
They’re small crocheted hearts gifted to festival visitors as little random acts of kindness. Bright, joyful, handmade and shared freely throughout the festival.

🧶 Want to help?
Use any bright colours you have on hand and follow the fabulous (and free!) “Super Easy Heart” crochet pattern by Jane Balke Anderson aka Queen Babs:

Thank you Jane for your ongoing support of the Yarntopians.

📮 Post your Love Bombs to:

📍 Local drop-off:
Bring them to a working bee or drop them into Southern Downs Dental, 49b Wood Street, Warwick. Please include your name and contact details so we can thank you properly.

Let’s keep the love flowing all year round and be ready to share thousands more smiles in 2026.

Who’s in? 💕
