The East Neuk Knits Festival kicks off with a social event at Dreel Halls on the evening of Thursday 27th November.

This will be a gentle knit night with a difference: inspired by the kvöldvaka tradition of knitting or mending as we listen to stories on a winter’s evening, East Neuk Knits will be showing two special films.

First up will be a short film, originally produced for the Venice Biennale, featuring Di Gilpin. The film is about making, whale song, memory and remembrance. This will be followed by a screening of Trad Treasures, a film about the life and work of Jimmy Hutchison, weaver and Gaelic singer. Jimmy, who will also feature in the Festival as the Handloom Weaver in the marketplace on Friday and Saturday, will introduce the film (and singing) on Thursday evening.

The AIA will provide hot drinks and cakes (by donation) and a warm welcome, with plenty of time to craft together and talk.
