Knit & Stitch Show Alexandra Palace London

This must be the most wonderful venue for the Knit & Stitch show and of course the weather was fabulous too. Check out the remaining two shows: www.twistedthread.com

The sky was that colour - honest!


Beautiful views from Alexandra Palace on a sunny day.

Raymond Honeyman's exhibition at Alexandra Palace.

Framed work of Raymond's. Each design is then produced by Ehrman Tapestry's into kits. To see more of his and other designers work click here. His artwork is extraordinary and complex. Raymond is one of a rare breed - a designer that produces work by hand and not by computer!




A beautiful hand embroidered Kimono. An example of Japanese embroidery. It is stunning!!





A colourful installation at Alexandra Palace. A project by a Los Angeles based Institute - a creative response to the plight of coral reefs to pollution and global warming. Get your crochet hooks out!!





Oh, you have!!

John Allen's beautiful tapestries: 'Forbidden Kingdom'.'
An interactive installation- 'Seeking Pearl' - by Alfreda McHale. You take a jar/jars from the shelf and empty the buttons into the bowl on the table in front of the installation and then make up your own combination of buttons into the empty jars and place them back on the shelf:-). Nice one!!
