National Knitting Week kicks off today in a flurry of purling needles. Supported by Knitting magazine, this year's event aims to raise £10,000 for the baby charity Bliss. Get involved by hosting a sponsored group knit, teaching someone else your stitch strategies in exchange for a few pounds or throwing a "stash sale" to clear out unused balls of wool. There are also many organised festivities to latch onto, with IKL Knitting Group hosting an afternoon of drinking and darning at I Knit London. Meanwhile, the Sunday Knit Roast at the Phoenix brings together fervent yarners over Yorkshire pudding.
