Exhibition of Liz Newman Knitting by 
@the_amanda_blair
'This knitwear obsession of mine started many years ago and has culminated in this exhibition which has been made possible by the skills and talents of the Handknitters Guild of which I’m proudly Patron. Liz Newman is an 80’s fashion icon and bringing these knits back to life and back to prominence has been a great joy . Please take a trip up to the hills sometime in August for SALA month and immerse yourself in some 80’s fashion knitwear.' AMANDA BLAIR

COMMENT FROM MARGARET  -Thanks Margaret, started a great discussion
Regarding selling patterns as kits, the designers doing that are trying to right a wrong which is that yarn manufacturers don't share any part of their profit with those who are driving their sales, knit designers.  And knitters don't want to directly compensate designers by paying a fair price for all the work that goes into a pattern.

Perfect listening while knitting.
