Knitters Unite!


If you are a knitter like me, you will find this fascinating.  This is a "must see" video.  I remember reading about this guy a few years back in an art magazine.  He had learned to knit after being wounded in a war, (I believe that's the story) and latter as a construction worker he worked out how to knit something really big using the big earth-moving tractors that he drove, and a pair of knitting needles the size of telephone poles.  The video shows him doing it.  The finished knitted piece was displayed outside a museum for some time.

The picture here is not what he knitted, 0f course, but something I knitted.  Like wearable art.  What can I say?  Art is everywhere.

Hi Denise, This sweater is amazing, wish I had the patience to knit like that. I love your painting of the swimmers. Keep it up
