A Lancashire community has created an unusual centrepiece to a Christmas Tree Festival – a knitted tree.The 18ft 5.4m tree at Poulton-le-Flyde Methodist Church was one of 46 shown at the festival.It was knitted by church members, residents of a retirement home and a library knitting group.Church member Beryl Moran said that once Christmas was over, the tree would “be taken apart and stitched together to make blankets”.
