THE hunt is on to find the person with the fastest pair of knitting needles in the UK.

The Nation’s Fastest Knitter competition will be launched at the Stitching, Sewing & Hobbycrafts Show in Manchester from February 2 to February 4, 2017.

Simon Burns, managing director at ICHF Events said: “Many of our craft loving visitors are avid knitters and we are very excited to be working with the UK Hand Knitting to re-launch a search to find the nation’s fastest knitter.

"We are also delighted to support the charity Knit For Peace, with all resulting knitting from the competition to be donated to their projects.”
