Machine Knitting

Celebrating the Centenary of Canberra

The Machine Knitting Sub-Section at the 2013 ActewAGL Royal Canberra Show has many classes for avid machine knitters to create unique articles on their knitting machines!

What Classes can be entered in the Machine Knitting Sub-Section? 

Open to all ages are the following challenges:

• Any article of Machine Knitting depicting your interpretation of ‘Celebrating the Centenary of Canberra’
• Great Canberra Scarf Competition
  The Great Canberra Scarf Competition, sponsored by Galifrey Alpaca Textiles, provides the opportunity for machine knitting enthusiasts to use their creativity and imagination to make a scarf reflecting the theme of ‘Centenary of Canberra’.

To see the range of other classes you can enter, refer to the Crafts Expo Schedule.

To cater for all levels of experience and ability in machine knitting, there are competitive classes for non professional exhibitors (have less than 2 years experience), non professionals (with more than 2 years experience), professionals, seniors (65 years and older) and a section just for schools including Primary, High School and College.
