We decided to reclaim the streets by Knitting for Peace on Hampstead High Street! Yesterday, we tweeted to our followers that we would be setting up a table and chairs outside in response to the London riots by giving a show of solidarity and peace by knitting items for charity with whoever wanted to join us! It was a great success with people from the local area of all different ages and abilities joining us to knit or even just to have a chat.

All in all, it was a great success!
