The event was held at Lower Shaw farm and involved people spending their time knitting, and exchanging stories.

Conversations ranged from talking about knitting projects, to why people got interested to what they were knitting and why.

Melissa McBride, 31, a helper at the festival said: "We've been running knitting circles at the farm since October 2007 and have one every month.

"This time, it happened to fall during the festival so we thought why not combine the two. We had about 20-odd people turn up which was good. Everyone had a great time."

Ann Gilbert, 64, from Wroughton said: "This was my first time here. I had a brilliant time and the atmosphere was so great as well."
