Outside:inside Festival Reading (Crochet Graffiti)

The festival

Myself

Working with the Outcasts. The first of many projects I hope, more news to follow. I just want to say a big thank you to all the fellow Blankie Outcastians.

Forbury in bloom.

Forbury Reading

Where we should have been, but the weather in the UK is just awful and the rain has not stopped falling. Summer? what summer.

Wellington's required, so the forecast said. We where very lucky and the rain came as we finished but a wet knitted field would not have been a pretty picture. The venue change was defiantly for the best.





Destination change.............

Butter market not far from jelly /renegade knitters where on the loose.

When are socks and croc's are cool?.......

When they are in fact crocodile brogues with hand made socks. These

Funky shoes where worn by a very funky character.

One of my blanket/Graffiti meets.

Now here is where the funny story's could start, but I think Ill just leave it with the cool.

(we don't need to mention prison? oop's I did, you have to ask me when you see me.)

And a thank you to the random bottle of beer brought for the ladies, I guess he figured we needed a treat or though to be honest with the colourful collaboration of international, more Moet & Chandon would springs to mind than beer;-).

Graffiti in the pubs.

VIVACIOUS we figured maybe that with a beer or two the public may not notice my dyslexic mistake and if they did! who cares. My Crochet in a Reading pub, very cool very street art.

Thanks again, Mel, Suzanne, Kira, Barbara and malenie,
not forgetting Bama and Louie. And anyone that stopped to K.I.P.

Press so far
