I went, I camped,
I came home.
Ihe Electric Picnic was electric. I didn’t find the knitting tent, though I found a strange sign which was propped up against the big wheel:
As I was with my Husband and friends who were non-knitters, I didn’t really stress out about it too much, they helped me look and we didn’t find, and that was that. I knit and crocheted at the campsite and got a few positive comments from other campers. I did however find Stitchlily’s crochet tent (didn’t think to take a photo of course) but I missed her- she was up at Body and Soul, where we had just come from, and were going back to, and we didn’t get to meet. Ah well, what can you do.
I wore my Princess Leia “hair” and that went down really well with lots of EPers. I got a few “oh Im such a huge star wars fan”, lots of people saying look, Princess Leia as I went by or while we were queueing for things, one guy just had to try it on and get pictures taken of himself with it on,
while another converstaion went like this:
Girl: chat chat chat about totally irrelevant stuff
Me: return chat, thinking, someone is totally out of it
Girl: Chat chat,…… whats that on your ears?
Me: Eh…have you ever seen Star Wars?
Girl: Blank look
Me: You know, Princess Leia?
Girl: OOHHHHH! Princess Leia!! I thought you had ear warmers on!
Me: ?
Later on when we came back to the same place, we bumped into her again and she greeted us like long lost friends…in a galaxy far far away…
More pic’s to come. Wordpress is not liking me wanting to add more pics tonight.
