We are delighted to announce speakers for our next Knitting History Forum Conference, taking place on Saturday 28th January 2023 as an online event.
This year, we look at a range of knitting traditions and histories from several different countries and cultures, and many of the speakers have written books on their subjects. We will be welcoming:
- Kristi Jõeste from Estonia on the heritage of Estonian mittens;
- Cynthia LeCount Samaké on developments in traditional Andean knitting and ch’ullu (cap) designs
- Frankie Owens on the practice of Peruvian knitting
- Hélène Magnússen on Icelandic knitting traditions
- Irene Waggener on knitting in Morocco’s High Atlas region
Join us on 28th January 2023 for this exciting programme! Tickets for the conference are £25.00 payable via PayPal. We are pleased to confirm this includes online access to recordings and ticket sales are still open for those unable to join us on the day of the conference.
