Word from West Leeds Festival "Oi! Get Knitted"

Spare time on your hands? Do your fingers need saving from themselves, the fags, food or booze? Young Fogey, Supermodel or eccentric? Read on...

Guerrilla Knits - A complete knitted festival?
We need your help to knit a complete shed cover for one of our beloved festival sheds. On the outside the shed will appear spookily normal (wooden sides, tiled roof) until you get up-close and discover that reality is a knitted illusion. Open the door and enter a wonderful patchwork blanket world…a shed to warm and comfort you.
