Are we celebrating it here in any way? Any ideas anyone? :confused:

I am rally struggling with ideas myself. I think that if we just did some knitting in public again it may be a good idea?
I know Bliss the baby charity are hoping we all do some fundraising, but I can't think of anything to bring in funds on a one day basis??????
Now I am sure someone on here could give me some ideas.
:D

Here's (http://www.nationalknittingweek.co.uk/nkw/index.asp) the official website for National Knitting Week - might be summat on there that grabs you..

sponsored knit!
our little group usually knit around 20 blankets a calendar month so I recon we could get people to sponsor us for each blanket knitted.:thumbsup:
p.s
anyone want to sponsor a group knitting blankets?????:D

Is it a coincidence for us Cocoa knitters that national knitting week is the same week as national chocolate week?

I like that it's national chocolate week too :)

I'll be working on my jumper all week - not a good start, I wasn't happy with it, I think I did the stitching wrong (purl instead of knit and vice versa)

According to the UK Hand Knitting Association, National Knitting Week for 2010, is running this week, until the 17th. For anyone who may be interested click the link for the events pagehere (http://www.bhkc.co.uk/data/what%27s_on_2010.htm#October)

*sighs with happiness*

"Oh frabjuous day, calloo callay!", as Lewis Carroll would have said.

*Blisses out*

Just to sort out any confusion that may happen, I have updated the details for this years events as this thread was started in 2008.

I had wondered, but I think a National knitting week should be every day of the week :mrgreen:
