It’s killing me, but I’ve missed every one of the Knitting and Stitching Shows this year. This weekend is the Harrogate show — the last one — and last year, we were THERE! I didn’t think we’d still be in the country, so I didn’t organise for us to go. How I wish I had!
It is so worth the trip. Miles and miles (so it seemed, anyway) of pure knitting heaven. There were fashion shows, knitting-as-art exhibits, classes and workshops, the graduation pieces of fashion students from universities all over the country. And the retail booths — hundreds of retail booths — selling the best stuff from knitting shops up and down the country: yarn and needles and bags and on and on and on. It is packed, it is tactile, it is colourful, it is bliss.
If you get the chance to go next year, GO!
