For the 2013 Basingstoke Festival, a group of knitters got together to create pieces to donate to hospice. The squares of yarn were knitted to display around trees and other objects at the top of town in Basingstoke. After the festival, the squares will be knitted and given away to charity. I went to look at the knitted work around the tree a couple of weekends ago. (The Basingstoke Festival came to an end on the 14th of July.)
I like seeing art interacting with everyday things, such as trees and lamp posts and watching others enjoying it. It is even nicer to know that it will be going to charity to be put to good use after the Basingstoke Festival.
