The Knitting and Stitching Show, at Ally Pally, London.

It's that time of year again and the doors will soon be open at the Great Alexandra Palace, London.

The Knitting and Stitching Show is one of the best textile shows in Europe.

Thursday 11th - Sunday 14th October 2012.

10am-5.30pm.

In September, I ran a two day workshop for members of the Guild of Machine Knitters, I had eight lovely ladies come along with their knitting machines to my Studio in Malvern. Where together we knitted "Well Knit by Moonlight" a night time woodland scene. It is knitted in Samazma Style, using my yarn and colour choices, The sculpted forms were wonderfully created by Kenneth Potts ARBS. The workshop was enjoyed by all and you can come and see our beautiful "Well Knit by Moonlight" display at stand RCG11 at Ally Pally.

'The knitter' magazine has a feature with an image of my Samazama Birds from the Guild of Machine Knitters Stand at the NEC. How awesome!! It is a hand knitting magazine and the article 'Knitting in the fast lane' is about modern machine knitting. Issue 47, Page 80! ♥

                                                                                Its tiney tiny but it makes me smile!!! :)

A massive thank you to the ladies at the Guild of Machine Knitters,  especially the Chaiman,  Liz Holness and Pat Banyard-Smith.
