I couldn't have been more disappointed, I never imagined that knitting was such a judging recreation. I approached the 'fun area' and attempted to interact with the participants, eventually after standing there for several moments I asked about being involved. I was provided with a knitting needle and yarn and told that by the end of the session I would be the male equivilant of the Yarn Harlot. I envisioned being able to create consecutive loops, weaving threads to produce a two-dimensional fabric whilst applying sewn darts, flares, gussets and gores, that follow the body's curvature closely. This wasn't the case, I was sheepish because we had high expectations but were thrown to the wolves! Farewell to the fareground, these rides aren't working anymore...
