Many thanks to Gillian Fulton for talking to us about the history of knitting, from its earliest appearance in Egypt to the modern day. We saw some wonderful examples of silk purses and stockings. She also took us on a tour of a number of countries - with patterns from Norway to
Lithuania and from Shetland, Fair Isle and Guernsey. Thanks also to the members and attendees who bought examples of their own work and some interesting patterns to share. Almost every country in the world has a word for knitting although recognising where they come from is a challenge!
