She went on: “A friend of mine sent me a book last Christmas called The Nudinits.”

    This inspired the group to create a selection of knitted characters, all in the nude (with their modesty just about hidden by objects) holding their own craft show in a little marquee. The naked knitted people are arranged around everything from cakes to a crab stall.

    Sylvia said: “We thought it would be a novelty. If it is a success we will do another one.”
