Go nuts for Knitting!!!

CALLING ALL KNITTERS!

New International Encounter, the theatre company producing Around the World in 80 Days, are on the look-out for tea-cosies. The hero of the show Phileas Fogg is an enthusiastic tea-drinker and the opening scene features the ins and outs of making the perfect cup of tea… hence the need for a tea-cosy to keep his brew at the perfect temperature. 

If you’d be interested in making a tea-cosy (we’d need it by 11 December) and perhaps seeing your creation featured in the show please let me know and I’ll forward you more information.

PLEASE CONTACT: matthew.sanders@stables.org


(I wish I could knit - I'd try and make a globe patterned one!!)
