Dear Readers
As you’ll read in Newsline, Game of Wool on Channel 4 is shining a well-deserved spotlight on knitting. I’m very happy to share that King Cole yarns are featured throughout the series and 22 ranges have been used so far. When I spotted Merino Blend 4-ply cones in the set design, I foolishly hoped an LK-150 might make an appearance… but my fingers are still crossed. Whether you’re watching or switching channels, one thing is certain. Game of Wool has brought knitting centre stage on national television. They may be our hand-knitting cousins, but let’s all support the show, so there will be a second series… next time with machine knitters. Imagine what we could achieve in 12 hours!
Imagine also scaling down the plans of a house currently under construction and knitting a model of it. It’s an amazing project recently undertaken by members of Lichfield MKC and their story is in Spotlight on Page 48. I’m grateful to Chairman Lidia for passing on the story and to Chris for sharing all her photos.
At this time of the year, many of us reflect on the recent past and look forward to the Spring. I do wish you all a very happy New Year, which is filled with good health and contentment throughout 2026 – our 40th birthday year! Until next month, my compliments of the season to you all.
