The Knitting and Stitching Show 2010
The Knitting and Stitching Shows are the definitive and best exhibitions for lovers of textiles in the UK and Ireland.
The dates and venues are:-
7th Oct – 10th Oct – 2010 – Alexandra Palace London
28th Oct – 31st Oct -2010 - RDS Dublin
25th Nov – 28th Nov – 2010 – Harrogate International Centre
Doors open at 10.00am and close at 5.30pm. (Sundays doors close at 5.00pm)
If you go to one of the shows around the country you will be able to see all things knitting including knitting wool, knitting accessories, beautifully hand dyed yarns and knitting patterns including baby knitting patterns – most at discounted prices. There is also mixed media, jewellery-making, shibori dyeing, card-making, felt-making … and so much more that it is impossible to list!
Give yourself plenty of time as it is difficult to get around the show in one day. It can be done however it is a very full day! There are literally hundreds of exhibitors selling specialist supplies that you can’t find in the shops. There are also hundreds of workshops to introduce you to lots of new subjects and galleries from leading artists and groups.

It’s really worth putting at least a day aside and going to one of the shows or if you can put two days aside that would be even better.
You wont regret it!
