Knowledge is defined as (i) facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject, (ii) what is known in a particular field or in total; facts and information or (iii) awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation.
Information is the result of processing, manipulating and organizing data in a way that adds to the knowledge of the receiver. In other words, it is the context in which data is taken.
To me the difference lies here; information is nothing more than data that has been presented to you or you have collected, knowledge is what you gain from experiencing and working with the information that is given to you.
