Knitted Textile Awards 2012

Over the past couple of months I have been lucky enough to exhibit a few pieces from my Masters collection at the Knitting and Stitching show in both London and Harrogate. This was part of the Knitted Textile Awards, which is a showcase of student and graduate knit work from all over the UK. I entered it after my BA, but unfortunately didn't get selected as a finalist - obviously this was because I was destined to do it after my Masters instead...

About 20 of us from various colleges all over the UK were given the opportunity to exhibit our work at the aforementioned locations, where it was also judged by a panel which included designers and editors. I'm very happy to say I was presented with a Bronze award, which judging by the standard this year I was very excited about! Here is a link to the website which features all the finalists and winners,  also pay special attention to the work of Kirsten Presly and Carlo Volpi - 2 of my very talented classmates from the RCA who also exhibited.

I took a few snap-shots of my display - for continuity I kept it the same for both exhibitions, I'm not just trying to make you play spot the difference.
