Rachael Matthews was co-founder in 2000 of the Cast Off knitting club - a demoncratic and proactive knitting club, organising events nationally. Its aims are to promote the art of knitting as a healthy, contemporary and creative pastime, through the establishment of a club dedicated to the craft. By arranging fun and adventurous knitting meetings and workshops in a range of unusual public settings, Cast Off aims to introduce a wide cross section of people to the craft.
