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. 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.
Click here for more more information about previous Knitting History Forum Conferences. 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.
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). After you’ve logged in, use the options in the sidebar to select how to receive messages at your convenience.
New submissions are always welcome and we invite you to contact us as soon as possible.
We look forward to seeing you in February!
