Oundle knitters and crocheters are busy getting ready for an art installation made of wool for the centre of Oundle this summer. This is called yarn bombing, graffiti knitting or urban knitting, and comes under the banner of the Oundle Great Yarn.
This community project is a very social event with children, men and women of all ages taking part. There are two gettogethers a week where people join and knit and natter, crochet and chatter. It does not matter if you cannot make the meetings as most of the work happens in people’s homes.
If you can knit or crochet, would you be able to knit or crochet a few triangles for bunting (pattern supplied) or something bigger? If you would like to join but cannot knit or crochet, training is on hand. Maybe you have odd end of balls of wool/synthetic, acrylic yarn you would like to donate? There are wool donation boxes around Oundle, in Smiths at No 4, Brewbabu, Beans, the Coffee Tavern and the Library.
