I took a class with Franklin (Embroider your knitting level 2), and found him both informative and entertaining. I know he loves the UK, and I too expect he'd jump at the chance to teach at EYF if invited.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364440447314657315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-13644346653190601892017-02-21T00:10:40.032+00:002017-02-21T00:10:40.032+00:00Re: Franklin - I'm sure if the organizers of t...Re: Franklin - I'm sure if the organizers of the show would contact with him, Franklin would love to come to EYF and teach. So you should email them and ask them to invite him.

Alexandra Palace is definitely way beyond being a comfortable experience, at least for me. <br />I see what you mean about my comment on KD's yarn hiatus, if we take her to be sharing her feelings in the moment, rather than employing a journalistic device to encourage reader participation. The Comments do make fascinating reading, particularly those where people suggest that she designs something they have a hankering for themselves.Shandyhttp://www.cheviots.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-49972100537787529032017-02-19T11:14:08.797+00:002017-02-19T11:14:08.797+00:00The organisers of EYF have said that they don'...The organisers of EYF have said that they don't have any plans to change venues next year. But there is room for expansion in the Corn Exchange, I believe.

I will be in Edinburgh for a few days this week and plan a visit to Kathy's Knits to check out their supply of New Lanark, another British wool I have experienced with pleasure. And they have a man couch. We're also going to try L'Escargot Bleu, having seen it mentioned on your blog.

I don't know how these compare to EYF but I'll soon be finding out. I have always thought that the Knitting and Stitching Show held each year in London and Harrogate (and from this year in Edinburgh) are more stitching than knitting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
