It’s a total pleasure to point you towards a project my friend Felix is running:
The Knitted Walking Stick Cosy Competition 2007: WIN £40 IN YARN VOUCHERS!
Inspired by the dignifying powers of health-related knitting projects
everywhere, The Missability Radio Show is organising a walking stick cosy
knitting competition. With your great ideas, knitting skills and visionary
powers, you can transform even an ordinary grey walking stick into a
fantastical design!
The competition is open NOW and all entries must be received by 7th
September 2007.
There are two categories for this competition; the winner in each category
will be awarded £40 in yarn vouchers. There is no limit on submissions. The
first category is Fantastical Designs and the second is Real Life. Entries
will be judged by walking stick users and The Oxford Bluestockings, an
incredibly talented and accomplished bunch of knitters based here in Oxford.
The cosies will be featured on The Missability Radio Show. Notable
submissions will be described by our knitting correspondents on the
programmes due for podcast release 9th September!) Photographs and cosies
will be publicly exhibited from 12th – 16th September in The Drama Studio at
Oxford Brookes University and from 12th – 19th September in The Oxford
Centre for Enablement, Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, Oxford.
