Just to tell everyone about the Alpaca Conference and Festival, which takes place in Sheffield from Friday 12^th September, and explores the use of patterns across heritage and contemporary creative crafts from e-textiles and pen-plotting to musical improvisation and live coding.. Jake Thorne and I will be taking part - we're running a workshop related to our Kumihimo braiding project on Sunday 14th.
