All knitters, seasoned and novice, are invited to visit the accomplishments of eight extraordinary knitters, all of whom have shaped and embellished the craft of knitting and contributed significantly to our knitting resources.

Participants will learn of the lives and work of Alice Starmore, Jan Messent, Montse Stanley, James Norbury, Cat Bordhi, Vivien Höxbro, Meg Swanson, and The Unknown Knitter. Each participant will be encouraged to knit one or all of eight (fairly small, easily accomplished) articles representing the innovative work of the great knitters. Patterns will be provided; participants are asked to supply yarn and needles.

Books published by the identified knitters will be made available for browsing and may be borrowed.
