Knit-Out visitors crowded around the demo tables throughout the two-day event. Providing free knit and crochet lessons is still one of the goals of Knit-Out.
The Second Annual Knit-Out and Crochet event sponsored by the Craft Yarn Council of America (CYCA) was held at the Mall of America in February. Dubbed the Great American Knit-Out, the event drew knitting and crocheting enthusiasts from around the country, an estimated 55,000+, up 10% from last year. Read more and view picture highlights.
…that's what the Craft Yarn Council and its sister organization the UK Hand Knitting Association wanted to find out. The rivalry has been going strong ever since 2002 and has grown to include an amazing group of international competitors. Check out the winners!
