National Knitting Week
13th-21st October, 2007
Launched in 2005 by GMC's Knitting magazine, National Knitting Week gives knitters all over the country the chance to celebrate and promote this hugely popular pastime. This year's National Knitting Week (13th-21st October) is set to be the biggest yet, with events all over the country for knitters of all ages and levels, and the perfect opportunity for curious non-knitters to give it a go...
Having experienced something of a revival in recent years, thanks in part to celebrity knitters affording the hobby unprecedented media exposure, knitting continues to make the news on a regular basis. Knitting for charity is the latest craze, with stories of people using their skills with needles and yarn to raise money for their chosen cause being reported regularly in the regional papers. Harry Potter fans are also getting in on the act, with patterns for Potter-esque scarves and sweaters popping up all over the internet, and even entire web forums devoted to the role of knitting in the books and films. And if you thought knitting was just for girls, think again! While 2006 was the year that 'Stitch n Bitch' groups brought the hobby to a younger generation of female knitters, the guys are jumping on the bandwagon in 2007, championed by high-profile male knitters such as Gerard and Craig of I Knit, who even run a regular 'guys only' knitting evening at their London shop. Knitting is also making waves in the fashion world this season, with 'chunky knits' being a firm favourite on the catwalk - proving once again that knitting is most definitely not just for grannies!
Details of all the National Knitting Week events, including how to set up your own, are available on the National Knitting Week website www.nationalknittingweek.co.uk
