Woolly Thinking - Greenbelt 2011

At Greenbelt this year there was a knitting and crochet event at tea-time on the Saturday.  The Hub venue was packed with hundreds of novice knitters and crocheters as well as experienced practitioners of the yarn crafts.  I was the official "Crochet Captain", in charge of a mixed ability crew of 15.  Our task was to cover the final letter O of the phrase "The ache for home lives in all of us" which had been cut out of cardboard.  We crocheted squares to cover the letter and decorated it with flowers and a crocheted cup of coffee!  We crocheted enough to be able to share some extra squares with other groups.  All the novices managed four or five rows and hopefully will have caught the bug.  The final resting place of the banner made it very difficult to photograph well.  Good fun was had by all and the core team are in regular contact through Facebook (Greenbelts Woolly Thinking),  Ravelry (greenbelt-festival---woolly-thinking) and Twitter (@WoollyGB).
