The Dangers of Sewing and Knitting
This Deirdre Nelson exhibition - The Dangers of Sewing and Knitting’ - sounds fantastic, but sadly for me it's only showing in St. Andrew's and Glasgow - too much of a hike from Brighton. In other recent knitting-related surfing, I've come across:
* Shetland's Great Gravit
* Year of the Volunteer's Big Knit (pdf) - a national knitting initiative, giving older volunteers the chance to donate knitted garments and toys to children's hospitals and premature baby units
* More on the Crafts Council's Knit 2 Together show (which I STILL haven't got to!)
* Knitting Together: the story of the East Midlands knitting industry over the past four hundred years
* Via Craftster, 'Strathaven folk knit themselves a 1950s room' - knitted cakes, teapots, cups and biscuits - even a knife and loaf of crusty white bread - while over in the corner sits a knitted valve mantel radio. A few Jean Greenhowe items can be spotted in the pics.
