Loch Ness Knit Fest - 13-15 October 2017
Loch Ness Knit Fest charity drive this year -
The Queen Motherâs Clothing Guild (founded in 1882) do a remarkable amount for causes across the UK. Charities local to us that have benefitted from the Guild include Womenâs Aid, Raigmore Hospital, Highland Hospice, Horseback UK and CHAS Childrenâs Hospice.
So what do they do?
The Queen Motherâs Clothing Guild collect knitted items (as well as bed linen, anoraks and other items) from generous crafters like you and distribute them across all their charity partners after packing and sorting in the autumn. Incredibly, they manage to gather around 20,000+ items annually for those in need.
And how can you help?
Weâll thatâs just the thing. Without people like you, who love to knit, the charity wouldnât achieve such great things that genuinely aid so many across the country. So we challenge you to get those knitting needles in action and help us add to the collection of crafted wonders.
The items that theyâre most in need of areâŚ
- hats, gloves, scarves and socks for men, women and children
- Premature baby clothing
- Baby clothing
- Pram or cot blankets
- Knee rugs
- Bed blankets
So if youâre an avid knitter and able to help, weâd love to hear from you. Or if youâre a beginner, a simple knitted square or two will do and we can transform these into beautiful blankets.
This Knit-A-Long is about the participation and sharing of finished objects. A few prizes will be awarded to people that post in the associated threads in our Ravelry Group âLoch Ness Knit Fest Chatâ. Exact details will be confirmed but we will award prizes for:
- Most helpful and congenial
- Most prolific crafter
- Best team effort
- Most Highlander â themed
- Random prize draw
To show just how marvellous you are, we would like to display your finished objects at the festival and present them to the Guild so please send them to:

Loch Ness Knit Fest - 13-15 October 2017
Loch Ness Knit Fest charity drive this year -
The Queen Motherâs Clothing Guild (founded in 1882) do a remarkable amount for causes across the UK. Charities local to us that have benefitted from the Guild include Womenâs Aid, Raigmore Hospital, Highland Hospice, Horseback UK and CHAS Childrenâs Hospice.
So what do they do?
The Queen Motherâs Clothing Guild collect knitted items (as well as bed linen, anoraks and other items) from generous crafters like you and distribute them across all their charity partners after packing and sorting in the autumn. Incredibly, they manage to gather around 20,000+ items annually for those in need.
And how can you help?
Weâll thatâs just the thing. Without people like you, who love to knit, the charity wouldnât achieve such great things that genuinely aid so many across the country. So we challenge you to get those knitting needles in action and help us add to the collection of crafted wonders.
The items that theyâre most in need of areâŚ
- hats, gloves, scarves and socks for men, women and children
- Premature baby clothing
- Baby clothing
- Pram or cot blankets
- Knee rugs
- Bed blankets
So if youâre an avid knitter and able to help, weâd love to hear from you. Or if youâre a beginner, a simple knitted square or two will do and we can transform these into beautiful blankets.
This Knit-A-Long is about the participation and sharing of finished objects. A few prizes will be awarded to people that post in the associated threads in our Ravelry Group âLoch Ness Knit Fest Chatâ. Exact details will be confirmed but we will award prizes for:
- Most helpful and congenial
- Most prolific crafter
- Best team effort
- Most Highlander â themed
- Random prize draw
To show just how marvellous you are, we would like to display your finished objects at the festival and present them to the Guild so please send them to:

Also I open up to all you shops and businesses out there, if you want me to review your produce as an advertisement then please get in touch. Its not so much 'send me free stuff' its 'I want to to big up the crafty world, I'll pay for your stuff through talking about it'. Actually, if you don't have a crafty business but as some of you do want to insist on sending me stuff Greedy Louise loves you. I've tried to word it so it doesn't sound like I'm 'cadging' but I fear it still came out like that. I'm a contradiction.
We have a new segment starting next episode which I require your input - its Wotcha Doing? - If you are up to interesting crafty endeavours and want to share then let me know.
Caithness Segment is back with the Viking invasion. You need long boats so get out the woodworking equipment.

The Fish and Chips babies jumper pattern and information of where to post it to is from http://www.knit-a-square.com/postal.html and the pattern is also on Ravelry
