. Knitterati GlitteratiKnitters of the 21st century use alternative materials like wire, soya and plastic shopping bags. We knit using chopsticks, broomsticks and their fingers. We produce sexy knickers, ballgowns and jewellery. The knitterati meet to knit in cafes, pubs, clubs, the tube, at home, in parks, the cinema… anywhere! And from Thursday, 12 October to Sunday, 15 October 2006 the knitterati will congregating at The Knitting and Stitching Show, aka Ally Pally! A special Champagne bar and chill out area, Knitterati Glitterati, will be the scene for young and old, novices and experts to share ideas, show off their talents... and their purchases! The goal is to provide a community-based area -- a place to chill out and meet up, rest weary feet and swap shopping stories. The bar and chill out zone will be stocked with refreshments as well as supplies and original patterns – everything the knitterati needs to complete the perfect afternoon. News, 21 July 2006EVENTS

welcome to the new knitchicks!It’s been a long time coming, but I’m proud to annouce the launch of the new knitchicks site. The goal is for it to be more user-friendly – allowing you to find (and publicise) knit groups around the UK more easily. A quick rundown of the new site:
There’s still a lot to ‘clean up’ around the site. Over the past couple of months I have emailed many of you to confirm the details of your group, and kindly, you replied promptly. Unfortunately, due to seemingly endless computer troubles, I lost a lot of data – please do send me through your info again. I’m still working out some navigation kinks and appreciate your patience while this is sorted out. View knitchicks by location or by group |
