Spotlight on the Festiwool Team. Philippa is passionate about knitting and crochet and passionate about introducing the younger generation to the joys and benefits that the age-old crafts can bring. Her love of knitting goes back to her childhood, when she spent a considerable time in Great Ormond Street Hospital. She found knitting therapeutic and good for relieving boredom. Gave her the idea of running her own yarn festival. In 2014, with help from many members of Hitchin Stitchin', Festiwool was born.

The Knitting Blog: The Big Top
http://hesadevil.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-big-top.html
Sunday, 12 July 2015. In preparation for our participation in the Northampton Waterways Festival,. I'm knitting some carnival tea cozies for the boat's tea pots. Calls for DK yarn, so I'm using some of Woolly Chic's. Welsh wool in pretty colours. The pattern is for a slighty larger teapots to the two vintage enamel pots-for-one. And I was a little worried about adjusting the size. Decided he didn't want tassels or a pompom. I may have a look for a small button to finish the top. One down, one to go.

Hitchin Stitchin': St Mary's Yarn bombing
http://hitchinstitchin.blogspot.com/2016/08/st-marys-yarn-bombing.html
Sunday, 21 August 2016. St Mary's Yarn bombing. Was a great success, again, this year. Entitled 'Vestree', it had a fashionable theme. I was really sorry to have missed it. By the time I was well enough to go out after a month's illness, on Friday 29th , most of the exhibition had been removed. There were some vests, languishing on the hedge, in the rain - unlike the ones in this photo from Off the Hook. I have some photos to remind me of what I missed. This corsetted dress from Philippa.
