New this time is also the ‘Stitch-by-Stitch’ feature. This feature brings together the UK’s leading experts in knitting, crochet and beadwork, embroidery, sewing and weaving. There will be interactive demonstrations to inspire and educate crafters. Different free-to-attend demonstration areas will encourage you to look at experts at work, ask questions and have a go themselves.
Coats Crafts UK will again present a daily Fashion Show in Alexandra Palace, featuring garments from the current Rowan Magazine. For my personal TOP TEN of this magazine you may look here. But you will also have a look at the designs dedicated to the new yarns for this season: Fazed Tweed (Marie Wallin), Brushed Fleece (Martin Storey) and Big Wool Colour (Lisa Richardson)!

I love the ecru crocheting in fine cotton Do you have any more information about it?
Yes, Hazel, it is really lovely. Here is the link I got it from. Have a nice day!
This sounds so exciting and fascinating. Wish I was in the area, but there is an ocean to cross. Will you attend? If yes, can’t wait to get your review.
Unfortunately I will not attend the show. I had to cancel my preparations to got to London, due to personal reasons about 3 weeks ago. Well, next time. But I know two lovely ladies iamsnowfox.wordpress.com (Anja) and nottinghamknitter.co.uk/blog/ (Sarah) which will attend and they will write a post for sure.
Sorry about your having to cancel, and thanks for the link.
