I love the buzz of the Knit and Stitch Show, there is something unmistakenly feminist about it. Although there are pleny of male artist/makers and supportive partners here, there just feels like an undeniable sense of lifting up and celebrating traditionally feminine crafts. A lot of the vistors appear to be matriarchs with two generations in tow, all excited and interested by the colours and fabrics.
This perhaps has been punctuated by the fact my own step-grandma, mother and godmother have all been to visit our stand so far.
A snap of my favourite stand, there's something very texturally satisfying about edging, it often has a slightly more 3D, playful structure as well as offering an array of bright colours. Sumptuously inspiring to my eclectic minds eye...
