For the past 6 years, national knitting week has been a week dedicated to promoting, encouraging, involving
and socialising for knitters. Knitting Magazine set up this week in
2005 and since then it has been going from strength to strength with
companies such as ourselves putting on events and embracing knitting,
crochet and more. Celebs are seen with needles in their hands and Adrian Chiles has taken up the topic for his new series of That Sunday Night Show on ITV.
This year National Knitting Week will
be celebrated in-store, at the Lee Green Boutique, between October
1st and 15th. In honour of National Knitting Week
2011, knitshop.co.uk are offering free workshops, tutorials and
surgery sessions to one and all. From the 13th to the 15th
of October the knitshop.co.uk team are taking on people young and
old, of all knitting abilities and will be setting projects through
the workshops to teach new skills to all attendees.
Make sure you book your free place at
these workshops as they fill-up quick. Workshops will be held between
1.30 and 2.30pm every afternoon. Contact the team online, by phone or
in person for more information or to book your place.
Individual tutorials and surgeries will
encourage and help knitters through their personal projects and
hopefully inspire people to bring projects out of the closet and get
stuck back into knitting.
The Workshops, tutorials and surgeries
will be held at the knitshop.co.uk boutique in Lee Green where
attendees can immerse themselves into the world of knit, pick up some
new project patterns, inspiring yarns and the latest in knitting
needles.
Additionally, Julieta and the
knitshop.co.uk team will be holding a knitting marathon. Make sure
your fingers are nimble and brace yourselves for a week-long chase
with knit and pearl stitches hopefully not running loose. The
knitting marathon will begin on the 13th of October at 11am, be sure
not to miss the beginning of this historical day. The knitshop.co.uk,
and any knitters willing to embrace this challenge, will be knitting
continually throughout the week and at least until the 15th
of October, but who knows, it's a marathon therefore there is no set
finish date!
Alongside the knitting marathon there
will be a competition with fantastic prizes worth £50, whoever will knit the longest will win
themselves a fabulous yarn, runners up will also
get prizes and everyone involved will have helped knit throughout
this exciting period. Be sure to visit the knitshop.co.uk Boutique Outlet in Lee Green between 13th and 15th October 2011 to be part of this fantastic event!
Get yourself, your children, your
friends, your family down to this fantastic event as 2011's National
Knitting Week will be spectacular.
Get Knitting!
