The Missability Radio show and competition

My good friend Felix asked me to spread the word about her radio show and competition.*


The Knitted Walking Stick Cosy Competition 2007


WIN £40 IN YARN VOUCHERS!


Inspired by the dignifying powers of health-related knitting projects everywhere, The Missability Radio Show is organising a walking stick cosy knitting competition. With your great ideas, knitting skills and visionary powers, you can transform even an ordinary grey walking stick into a fantastical design!

The competition is open NOW and all entries must be received by 7th September 2007.

There are two categories for this competition; the winner in each category will be awarded £40 in yarn vouchers. There is no limit on submissions.

The first category is Fantastical Designs and the second is Real Life. Entries will be judged by walking stick users and The Oxford Bluestockings, an incredibly talented and accomplished bunch of knitters** based here in Oxford.

The cosies will be featured on The Missability Radio Show. Notable submissions will be described by our knitting correspondents on the programmes due for podcast release 9th September!) Photographs and cosies will be publicly exhibited from 12th - 16th September in The Drama Studio at Oxford Brookes University and from 12th - 19th September in The Oxford Centre for Enablement, Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, Oxford.

Full details of how to enter the competition can be found here.
