Woolly Thinking – Sunday 1pm in the Hub
Woolly Thinking supremo Sarah Dean writes:-
Ludicrous facial hair is in. Wander round Hoxton or flick through the Howies catalogue and you'll see 'taches that Tom Selleck and 118 118 would be proud of.
Bushy beards, previously only associated with vague people who work in health food shops, and school lab technicians, are now the face furniture of choice for hipsters.
But what if you too young, too hormonally-stunted, or too much of a girl to grow a moustache or a beard of your own? Must you be left out of head fluff revolution?
No!
All the cool kids are knitting these days (Sufjan Stevens; Julia Roberts; Gromit). So it's the natural next step to knit your own facial hair.
On Sunday at 1pm in the Hub at the Woolly Thinking, our team will be teaching people to knit their own beard or moustache. At the end of the hour, our newly hirsute knitters will take part in a moustache flashmob somewhere on site.
The event will also feature film, comedy and music, all with a woolly theme. (Our event is very kindly sponsored by knitting shop, I Knit London.)
Whether you can knit a bit, can't knit at all, or already have a beard and fancy something a bit more fluffy, come along and take part.
* There is a long history of Christian women wearing fake beards.
** Images above are of me in knitted beard, plus a terrifying beard man. Hope you can tell the difference.
