The KHF committee is pleased to announce the next annual Knitting History Forum Conference will be online on Saturday 3 February 2024.
Anyone who has a suggestion for a presentation they would like to hear or to give at the conference is welcome to contact the committee. Please send a title and short description (maximum 150 words) by contacting 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. 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.
If you’d like to learn more about the Knitting History Forum Conference, please see https://knittinghistory.co.uk/category/khfconferences/ for more information and a look at our previous conferences. The January 2023 KHF conference offered a round-the-world tour of knitting traditions and access to the 2023 recordings is still available for purchase online.
Don’t forget the free online discussion group is available to discuss ideas for the conference at the KHF online discussion group (either log in or register as a new member).
The committee will decide the theme of the day based on the contributions they receive. We really do welcome submissions and invite you to contact us as soon as possible. Whether you have an idea you would like to submit, are working on new research or have never presented at a conference before, this is your chance to step forward!
