May day

What a gorgeous day?
Lots of interest in the project. More people joining our crusade daily. I am being promised knitting from all over the place. I collected some knitting from Moordown Community Centre Craft Club.
A Big Thank you to you all and all at Coles Millers who knitted for us and A Giant Thank you to The Epiphany school.
Knitted stream
Wet stream from Angel's performance

More wet stinky stream
each day it gets heavier and smells worse even the ducks avoid it.

I was speechless when I was handed a Roll of stream From Epiphany. You must have all worked really hard . Isobel and I are so grateful and pleased that you all wanted to help you have made the stream grow even longer Thank you  and also to everybody that brought knitting to the gardens today. Thank you also to the kind lady in Swanage who sent me a package with stream and gorgeous flowers in. All donations  have now taken us to a grand total length of 560ft wow!! please visit us we are open daily until the 7th may we open at 10am and close at 4pm. Though we can collect stream until5pm.

The stream takes a long time to roll up so if you want to see it at it's best try and make it before 3.15pm
as each roll takes a long time to roll up and each day we have more of them.
If it is damp or raining hard we will not  be able to display as it will get wet.
Angel performs her knitting into the stream most of the day and if you want a go you can try.
Knitting in the stream is an experience not to be missed. The knitting is heavy and the current pulls you.
Angel has a piece which is separate to the stream but the length has been included in the project.
Please visit us and keep the  Knitting coming in. The scarves will do a lot of good and keep a lot of homeless people warm this winter. Don't forget our Guinness book of records attempt as well the longest knitted stream in the world. Staff permitting we want to roll the stream down the stream path to see how much length we have in comparison to the actual stream we are hoping to do this on Bank Holiday Monday.
