Officially the festival opens tomorrow ...but as we wandered around town yesterday ... we saw the city taking on a new canvas - as knitted graffiti, a mandala trail, sculpture and installations began to pop up and take shape. The beauty of umbrellas in trees and posts kept warm by their own scarf. Edie was so taken with watching Pleiades being installed ... she stared in absolute wonder at 'The Snow Tree'. I barely know where to start with the programme.
We have already had a cheeky peek at what is the wondrous, eye popping goodness of 'The Knitting Room'. I mean I thought there might be an odd cupcake in the old knit one, purl one ... but a whole house? Room after room modelled on a 1950s abode - ALL KNITTED? Edie, Aunty Helen and I could barely contain our excitement.I am already planning my out of house sneak to get to the Junc Room - Festival Club ... Barry Morgan's World of Organs is there. Did you see him on Spicks and Specks?

And I so desperately want to muster the courage to get A Haircut by a 10 Year Old or maybe I will just settle on a love letter for Dunc at The Letter Writing Service. ...and that is but the tip of the iceberg!!
I will be at Niche Design Market ... which is also part of the festival.... I'll be planning my schedule from there!

My heart positively leapt at that shot of the brollies. And you know how warm and fuzzy I come over at cosily clad posts...
Oh, I love that umberella pic, fantastic! Sounds fun, enjoy...
It looks amazing girl!!
I would so do the 10 year old haircut gig. Well actually, I'd try and convince Matt it was a good idea.
I would LOVE this. Looks amazing.
