Cast-off in style

This Friday late celebrates granny's handicrafts. Now we know that Cameron Diaz and Nicole Kidman knit between takes, knitting and crocheting are no longer WI territory. The evening is led by cult knitting club Cast Off, with a guest appearance by 'Wendy - The World's Fastest Knitter'.

There's also a one-off performance of HAT - a poetic and musical history of wool and knitting, performed by Ian McMillan with viola and knittingneedle accompaniment.

Join talks and workshops inspired by V&A collections, make your own pompoms in the William Morris Room, or create crochet spiders webs in the Grand Dome. DJs Poodle Rock and the Murri Folk Club provide the soundtrack.

Victoria And Albert Museum Cromwell Road, SW7 (020-7942 2000). Fri 26 Mar, 6.30pm-10pm, HAT £10, talks £5, galleries free. www.vam.ac.uk.
