Knitfest returns in 2023 We’ve had a lot of emails asking if Knitfest is back on this year. Sadly, the answer is no. We’re taking a year off to get over the covid restrictions while we work on other projects like our Hats for Heroes and Patterns for next years event.

We’ll have lots more exciting news for you in a few months. Meanwhile, I’ll slowly be working in the background on our website ..read more
