It's the fourth year that Knit Now has run the awards, crowning winners in five categories: Charity Hero, Designer of the Year, New Designer of the Year, Local Superstar and Online Innovator. The lucky winners' prize, as well as mention in the magazine, is a day out at knitting company Sirdar's in Yorkshire to find out what happens behind the scenes, meet the designers and receive a sneak preview of their new season yarns and patterns.
I set up A Woolly Yarn three years ago to champion British yarns and designers whilst also delivering knitting news and reviews. I'm excited, honoured and thrilled that the blog has won this award and am grateful to everyone who reads it, follows us on Facebook and to all the companies and designers who have agreed to reviews and answering my nosey questions. A big thanks too to Kate Heppell, Knit Now's Editor, for choosing A Woolly Yarn as a winner; and not forgetting Denise Burrows who designed our new logo that launched last year.
I'll be reporting back from the Sirdar day on the blog later in the year. Is there a question you'd like me ask or something you've always wanted to know about yarn production or the design process? Please let me know via the form below or on A Woolly Yarn's Facebook page.
The list of all the winners is in Knit Now's issue 84, which hits subscribers' doorsteps today and goes on general sale in the Uk next week.
Right, time now to have a break from knitting and crack open the champagne. Bottoms up!
