Latitude 2010 Knitting Tent

I was lucky enough to work at the Knitting Tent at this year's Latitude Festival. The tent was run and organised by Amy Twigger Holroyd, who is the owner and mastermind of her own knitwear label, Keep & Share. Throughout the weekend, me and the other members of the knitting team were on hand to teach the joy of knitting completely for free.
Some early morning knitters:
All the samples that were knitting were attached to each other and people were able to leave little notes & memories, written on ribbon, on their work. The knitted samples will travel to the other festivals the knitting tent shall be at this year.
A view across the river - it was such a pretty festival!A group shot of the amazing multicoloured sheep:They were indeed real!
Beautiful brightly coloured painted flags were dotted about all over the festival & camping areas:Finally, my favourite act of the entire weekend; Lewis Floyd Henry:

Thankyou to all the lovely people who stopped by to quickly learn how to knit and ended up stopping for the next hour or two, have a knit and a natter with me!

It was fantastic to see all ages, boys, girls, women & men wanting to have a go at a fantastic craft!
