A message from Jane:

Following the great success of the Knitted Garden, we were approached by Aardman Animations to work with them on a brand new knitting project, ‘Shaun the Sheep’s PicKnit Challenge’. Shaun the Sheep loves the countryside and he’s calling on his friends to create a life-sized knitted picnic out of his favourite material – wool!

Everything in the PicKnit will be knitted, from woolly sandwiches and cakes, down to picnic chair, hampers and rugs.
So whether you’ve been knitting for years or want to try a new hobby, pick up some needles and take part in this exciting new project.
All techniques and abilities are welcome in creating Shaun’s knitted PicKnit. You can use whatever needle size, yarn type and pattern you like, the only rule is that your knitted pieces need to be a life-size. Please don’t worry about the quality of your knitting and crochet, this event is all about having a go and having fun!

Here’s a list of a few items that we’ll need for the PicKnit; we have a few patterns to get you started, but let your imagination run wild and create any item you would find at a picnic.
