Cute Knitting: A Big bold knit event for Reading.

(loving the retro glittery green sign, hand made nothing like a little glue and glitter)

1 large cake and a hell of a lot of candles.

Community knitting/crochet at it's finest.

A Big bold knit event for Reading.

Outcast Kira and Suzanne(Jelly) in action.

Myself taking the photo, myself be crafty in the knitting dept of Jackson's corner!!, I never would have imagined (not in 135 years)

A 1st for me to stitch on knitted candles as basically with my projects crochet chains are used for everything:-)

I did imagine worst case scenario, I could make a little picket fence with a crochet chain and prop the candles behind, but luckily the stitch on was pretty easy once I got going(good teachers) And at the out cast wed knit night had successfully attached most of the candles, Lots and lots of people made light work.

Being part of a group project when all ages are involved is so much fun.

I love the knit politics of such events, I would love to study a degree just so my dissertation could be written on that exact Topic. Explained a little clearer the way Old and new and I don't mean age, approach the craft they do.

In a nut shell, Why we crafty ladies (and men) do what we do, the way we do it.

Modern day knitting or simply art a breathe of fresh air, breathed back into what was sadly a dying tradition.(no more)

The launch of the Jackson knit event was packed, young and old running all weekend so pop along if you are local.
