Having been to Tribal Gathering in East Sussex in 2015 as punters, we were super excited to be able to bring the Love Blanket the following year, as its a simply lovely gathering of peaceful, communal people in a stunning setting near the South Downs. We brought our three daughters with us, and they all got stuck into their various projects, attracting lots of other young people in the process. It was such a joy to see knitters as young as four(!) produce work they were proud of.
On the second day there were strong winds, and we were warned to move the tent, but we stuck where we were and despite a lot of billowing above and below, the tent pegs held firm! In fact they held so firm that a couple had to be dug out laboriously, but that's another story.
There's always someone who really takes the Love Blanket to their hearts and this year it was Katie, who attended all our sessions, and helped teach a number of people the fine art of crochet. Hope to see you next year Katie!
