Anyway getting back to KNIT expo, it sounds great, and yes I would like to be involved. I would be more than happy to come and sell my kits and talk to knitters on an informal basis, if you require more from me then please let me know. - Suzie Johnson for The Wool Santuary

 

...just downloaded [booking} form, sounds amazing - Anne Shoring

 

Good luck with it, sounds like a great event. Best wishes - Freddie Robins

What a great idea - I'm thrilled! Not sure if I'm the sort of thing you want. I'm a farmer, producing cashmere yarn from 250 of my own cashmere goats right here in Devon. - Lesley Prior for Devon Fine Fibres

 

Just read your thread on Ravelry. I’d love to be involved in a local knitting show (I’m near Tavistock). I’m a knitwear designer and I sell my own range of knitting patterns and books, as well as yarn kits. - Claire Crompton

 

I would be interested in attending your event as I love to promote knitting. - Bev - Knitting4fun

 

This all feels very exciting, a brilliant idea! - Jane Stavert for Heavenly Yarns

 

I highly recommend your show, well organised and great fun! It was selling my organisers for the first time at KnitExpo last year that gave me the confidence to make a new and improved version! - Marianne for picperfic

This festival means that sheep are definitely back on the menu for all the right reasons as the knitting industry hurls itself forward with softer, newer, fresher, brighter and bolder ideas.

 

There's also a strong contemporary feel to the event, which is the first of its kind, being held in Exeter.

 

There are new designers, new yarns and new techniques so plenty to learn and experience at the Knit Expo festival - a one stop shop for people who want something natural, not nylon.

Belinda Harris Reid who, together with Ruth Morris organised Knit Expo in Exeter last month is at it again! We are to have another one in November! Hooray!! Exeter is finally getting on the knitting map.  Two classy events in one year is such good news.

Knitting, live performances and art created on the spot all meet at KNIT expo 2010 in Exeter.

The event is taking knitting out of the workbox and into the limelight with a mix of stalls, knit-ins and cabaret. Offering learning and teaching, sharing and swapping, watching and doing and buying and selling it looks like a great day out for knitters with attitude.
