Aims

To increase the awareness of machine knitting as a craft.
To organise exhibitions by knitters for knitters.
To encourage and maintain a high standard of craftsmanship.
To encourage a sense of awareness of texture, colour design and fitness for purpose.
To foster these aims for individual knitters by the award of certificates of quality.
To organise summer schools and seminars.
To liaise with manufacturers and suppliers to ensure that we all work together for the greater good of the craft.
To foster links between UK clubs and clubs overseas.
To ensure greater media awareness.

By doing all of these things, and more, it is hoped to strengthen bonds between clubs, individual knitters, manufacturers and suppliers, thus ensuring that machine knitting greets the millenium strong and in good heart. It is also important to gain from the media and the general public the recognition that machine knitting is a genuine craft in its own right.

Please note: we are not a commercial organisation. We do not do production knitting nor will we put people in touch with each other who wish to earn money through commercial knitting.
