Wonders will never cease

A friend sent me this link to this knitting site and it is truly mind boggling. There are some even more "interesting" patterns if you look even further. Not for the faint hearted!

Strange But Trewe

Knitting and Stitching at the NEC : volunteers needed!

Hi - I've had an e-mail appealing for volunteers for next weekend's Knitting and Stitching Show at the NEC in Birmingham, and said I'd pass the details on here.

If you're interested and can volunteer half a day to teach basic knitting to people at the Relax and Knit stand (which is serious fun), you'd get an exhibitors' pass to let you into the show free to shop 'til you drop the rest of the time!

If you are able to spare a few hours to help on the stand please contact media@thekingdoms.co.uk (full details are on www.ukhandknitting.com including show locations and times). For further information of what's involved, please leave a comment on Fred's blog.

Volunteers are particularly needed for Friday and Saturday.

Dates for you diary!
