I went along to the show on Thursday and was on hand to help anyone who felt like joining in. We provided a nice space for new and experienced knitters to put their feet up and click their needles for a bit, and in the process met some lovely people. The free workshops ran Thursday to Sunday, and each of us on the team took part in a day at the show, showing newbies the ropes and chatting with some of the more speedy folk.
Knitted bunting seems to be pretty popular at the moment, it’s cute and makes a great party decoration. I lent my set (pictured) to a friend for her wedding, and it now resides in our office at The Knitter.
If you like this pattern please consider purchasing something from my Pattern Store or buying me a coffee!
