At a recent Harvey Jones event, there was a talk on trend forecasting. I’m always amazed by how those in the know can, er, know the way trends are going to go, not only in the forthcoming year, but also the year after that. It’s as though our future tastes are kind of mapped out for us – how does that work? But there must be something in it – during the presentation Victoria Redshaw from Scarlet Opustalked about the phenomenon of Yarn Bombing, where artists and public alike cover everyday street items with knitted or crocheted covers. Since then, I’m seeing knitted stuff everywhere. But I’m not needled by it – I think I’m even getting to like it, and the more colourful the better!
