Exhibition of Liz Newman Knitting by 
@the_amanda_blair
'This knitwear obsession of mine started many years ago and has culminated in this exhibition which has been made possible by the skills and talents of the Handknitters Guild of which I’m proudly Patron. Liz Newman is an 80’s fashion icon and bringing these knits back to life and back to prominence has been a great joy . Please take a trip up to the hills sometime in August for SALA month and immerse yourself in some 80’s fashion knitwear.' AMANDA BLAIR
