I hope that many of you are familiar with the festival Sounds From Another City- festival, and if you are not, go google it immediately! It's a local music and art festival taking place in Chapel Street. Lots of new bands all over the UK playing and also some ongoing bands as well. (Ooh I have just seen that Marina and the Diamonds are playing there as well!! That's just too exciting)!

Alongside the music there will be some knitting. Salfords own knitting club, The Kings Arms Knitting Club and the Islington Mill knitting club are organizing a yarn bombing event that takes place on the weekend of the festival.

Here is the project brief:


Take part in this years Sounds From The Other City by

creating a knitted or crocheted Yarn Bomb (Wooly graffiti)

which will be installed at the festival site in Salford, Greater

Manchester UK on the weekend of the 1st May 2011

This year we are all contributing to the project by knitting and crocheting objects that can be worn as a pin badge.
This may be any form of object, but we are more keen to see things like, flowers, leaves, hearts.. etc etc.

We will be pinning these to ready made knitted strips that will be attached to the lamp posts along Chapel Street.

Festival goers will then we encouraged to take a pin badge from the installation and wear it at their pleasure :o)

You can contribute to our project by attending the kings arms knitting club every monday night , from 7pm.

Or the Islington Mill knitting and crochet club on the 23rd April 2011.

More info will follow shortly...
