ometimes being a freelance designer can feel like a lonely existence so imagine how excited I was when I was asked to spend my birthday in New York at the Vogue Knitting Live event!


So I was whisked away from my little office to the Hilton hotel in New York which was filled with knitters. If only I had a picture to show you of the smart bar in the hotel lobby filled with guests at a very glamorous wedding and hundreds of knitters!


I attended last year, but this year it did feel a like a Brit invasion as I was joined by Kaffe Fassett, Brandon Mably, Martin Storey, Erika Knight and Debbie Bliss. Brandon seems as enthused by the event as me, ‘How exciting to be having a pre launch of our new knitting book ‘Knitting with the Color Guys’ in the middle of New York at the VKL, plus rub shoulders with the likes of teachers and designers from all over the globe. With two floors of market place shopping and two floors of continuous classes. Knitting is usually something we do for some quiet time. There was such a buzz with all sharing passion for yarn, colour and knitting - just a shame it was only for 3 days!’
