May 2016 Meeting

An interesting and exciting meeting as we had a speaker Samantha Elliott, a principal lecturer at  Kingston University who gave us a presentation about fashion textiles incorporating machine knitting. She also brought along some of her own and student’s work  examples of knitting.

We were able to see her own book as she brought some copies for sale – this is one of the few new books about machine knitting.

Here are some pictures of the things she brought along.
