I’m heading over to Braintree on Sunday for the Textile Fair at the Warner Textile Archive.
This is this show’s fourth year, as you might know, I sadly couldn’t make the timing work last year to attend, so I’m looking forward to going this year.

I hope you can make it if you are in the area, it looks like it will be a good day out.
Also, some interesting news from Twisted Thread about Knitting and Stitching 2014 – This year’s Knitting & Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace will open a day early to the public – with five open days running from Wednesday 8th October to Sunday 12th October 2014.
After the event attracted record visitor numbers in 2013 (nearly 33,000), they felt that the show needed to grow, and combined with the late opening evening on Thursday that they added in 2013, they are aiming to create space for new customers and offer a slightly more comfortable experience for everyone.
Opening Hours
The Knitting & Stitching Show / Alexandra Palace
Wednesday 8th October – 10am-5.30pm NEW!
Thursday 9th October – 10am-7.00pm
Friday 10th October – 10am-5.30pm
Saturday 11th October – 10am-5.30pm
Sunday 12th October – 10am-5.00pm
So, start planning for that one now. I suspect that it will work well, and hey, we all know how hot and cramped at can get at its busiest… and apart from anything else, adding an extra day is the only way that this show can expand really!
