Oooo, look! It’s that Deadly Knitshade from off the internets!
I’m likely to appear all over the place. So I made it easier to stalk me.
If you get too close though my winged knitting machete monkeys will have you.

- Event: Yarnstorm Bootcamp - Isle of Wight on the 19 October, 2012:
KNIT THE CITY’S YARNSTORM BOOT CAMP
 GRAFFITI KNITTING NEEDS YOU!
For the first time ever you can join two of Knit the City’s most hardcore handmade heroes, dastardly Deadly Knitshade and fibre-flinging The Fastener for a weekend of woolly mischief on the wonderful Isle of Wight.
You’ll arrive a humble handmaker, you’ll go home a certified Graffiti Yarnstormer or die trying (or was that tie-dying?).
Places are open to both knitters and crocheters who already know how to stitch but wish to learn the way of the yarnstorm.
The Yarnstorm Bootcamp will take place from October 19 to 21 2012 and there's a ton of lovely stuff included.
