Do you fancy coming to a picnic? Or should I say, the PicKnit? It's part of the Camden Green Fair - green as in eco, so you can stop racking your brain to figure out where Camden Green is...it takes place in Regent's Park on Sunday 3rd of June from 12 noon to 7 pm. It's in conjunction with London Sustainability Week and World Environment Day.
If you'd like to help out, perhaps demonstrating knitting basics to interested newbies...
If you have any spare needles or yarn you could bring along...
If you have any non-copyrighted patterns for knitted food...
Then please do let me know!
Some inspiration: here here here and here
Of course you can just come along for a knit and a natter, and I hope that lots of you will. Bring your yarn and needles and a blanket to sit on (there may be deckchairs available to hire, that's being confirmed, but I believe portable seating isn't allowed) and you're encouraged to use public transport to arrive, keeping with the green ethos. It should be a great day - if the weather is poor I understand we'll be able to escape into one of the tents to shelter. Though I understand he won't be attending this event, there is a lifesized Shaun the Sheep under construction and all of the Shaun related activities will help to raise funds for the the Wallace and Gromit Children's Foundation which helps seriously ill children. Please do link to this post or to the one on www.flibbertygibbet.co.uk and help us to raise lots of money!
Come. Come and knit ham sandwiches, cupcakes or squares of green grass with us. Get it in your diary now...
These cupcakes look too good! This made me laugh too, 'cause my sis tried to knit one for me and nearly went mental. Guess she's a better baker than knitter.
