Craft Club
http://www.craftclub.org.uk/
I will be attending one of the training sessions for the national project of craft club - Millennium Gallery, Sheffield on Thursday 29th September 2011. Luckily I found out about this before it was fully booked!
Train tickets are booked and I'm excited to meet some new crafty people.
Then I just need to contact a local school, museum etc to set up a Leeds Craft Club. This is something that I can do without this training but it's free and it means I can feedback all of the activities to a network of crafters and trainers.

Knit 1 - pass it on

24-27 November 2011, Creative Exhibitions Knitting & Stitching Show, Harrogate International Centre.
I will be working at this show as part of the Knit 1 - pass it on program alongside the uk handknitting society. I've not been given my shift as yet but I'm really looking forward to passing on what I've learnt so far. |The application was very formal, which was a little off putting and made me feel like an unknowledgeable knitter. However, this can be seen in a different light. I simply put that I'm a 'rogue crafter' and that I don't always stick to the rules.....
....which is true!
Most of my knitting/crochet experience has been gained from youtube videos and muddling my way through patterns, as well as little bits of advice and demos from different people along the way.
I hope I meet some fellow rule breakers, or perhaps change some opinions about the 'fuddy-duddyness' of yarn crafts.
