![]() Here’s a brief look at my personal highlights. (My quick absorption technique involves quickly going around each stand without stopping at anything in particular, then popping out of the building to look at clouds and trees while my unconscious works out what it’s been looking at). I took my camera and headed down there on the Thursday to see what treats were to be found. Full disclosure, I’ve been to the show quite a few times and I’ve got more stitching supplies than a modern man should, so despite the Great Hall being filled with several hundred stalls that were selling all manner of craft materials, my focus lay elsewhere. Within the West Hall the galleries brought together a wide range of textile and mixed media arts, and after using my quick absorption technique, I dived in for a proper look. The 2016 Knitting & Stitching Show in London was jam packed with all manner of inspiration and resources to suit the needlecraft needs of textile fans from the South of England. I was lucky to get Jamie “ Mr X Stitch” Chalmers to attend the show and share what he found interesting on display there! The event featured work from 3D crochet to surface embroidery, patchwork and quilting to intricate crochet, and highlighted the immense level of craft in the field of fibers and textiles. ![]() Last week was the Knitting & Stitching Show at the Alexandra Palace in London.
