I Knit London have announced that the special guest at this year's I Knit show will be Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, better known as popular blogger and writer the Yarn Harlot. Here in the Simply Knitting office we're especially fond of her book Yarn Harlot: The Secret Life of a Knitter because it's just so funny, including tales of mammoth projects and problems with patterns (and a family of non-knitters). Click here to see her blog. As well as writing books about knitting, Stephanie founded Tricoteuses sans Frontières, an organisation of knitters which raises money for medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières.
Last year's I Knit show was tremendous fun - just wait a couple of days for Simply Knitting 39 to come out, turn to page 70 and you can see for yourself just how great it was. There were workshops, a fashion show, retro music and modern yarns, plus much more. 2008's show is going to be on Saturday 6th September. Visit the official site for more details.
