FIRE BLANKET!
This post is going to be really rather heavy on the photos and light on the chat.
All I can say is the Ninja Knitters had the most amazing day on Saturday.
We had all worked so hard in the run up to the "Fire Blanket" exhibit that it was really gratifying to see so many people enjoying our work.
Though I'm not sure the collection of drunk, mad and weird people who tend to inhabit Streatham Green were so appreciative!
May be a bunch of women dressed as Hilda Ogden covering their chairs in yarn was just too much for them.
So wearing the Ninja One hat I would like to say how proud I am of the Ninjas for taking a mad idea we had before Christmas, working on it all year, and creating something so memorable!
Being part of a local Arts festival was very different from any thing we had done before.
Look on and check it out.
