Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed co-ordinates, but they may prove helpful vis-a-vis raw materials.

This is a puzzle for the creative types out there. You may need to find an expert in the field to help you to create the necessary masterpiece to obtain the co-ordinates of the final location, where you will find a small camo'ed sistema containing some of Mrs.O's handiwork and a path tag for FTF.


On a recent caching trip in the bush, we came across a mumbling old crone who thrust a couple of tattered pages into our hand. Not being experts we didn't know how to make sense of them - maybe you can? (Please note, in some web browsers you may need to save the image to be able to zoom in sufficiently to read the text.)

Please note there was a slight issue with the first incarnation of this cache. The first row has been changed to read "Cast on 28 stitches" and not "Cast on 27 stitches".

Congratulations to ullyssia on FTF. You are not the only one not to have used those skills since school! It's amazing what Youtube can teach you these days!!!!

Special mention to Uni and Medusa who we think were first to solve...you guys knit fast!
