Save The Date! Knitting History Forum is pleased to announce the next annual KHF Conference will be online on Saturday 1 February 2025.
Would you like to give a presentation at the conference next year? We have already lined up some interesting presentations but the KHF committee is still inviting contributions. Please send a title and short description (350 words) to KHF chair, Sandy Black, at s.black@fashion.arts.ac.uk or fellow committee member Jane Malcolm-Davies at jane@jmdandco.com. All presenters will be asked to provide an abstract and photographs – one of themselves and at least one illustrating the topic of their talk to promote the event. Add an identifying caption for the image with any credits which are required. In addition, all presenters must record their talk in advance so that there is a backup of reasonable quality to use on the day of the conference, if necessary, and so we can make the conference available online after the event (to ticketholders only behind, a password).

The February 2024 event included a mixture of object-based, archive-based and documentary research, knitting tradition and practical reconstruction. Access to the 2024 conference recordings may still be purchased online.
