knitting as an artform?



With the economic climate and a need to turn inward a surgance in the crafts has emerged in the past 12 months. Although ahead of its time, a bar in Smith Street, Melbourne held knitting nights that was definatly welcome to anyone from 18 upwards and brought the cool back into knitting. Knitting isnt new, although the origins and beginnings are sketchy and it has the stamp of being a hobby, but there are some amazing pieces of art from the medium of knitting. I love the fact you can use something as simple as a pieceof wool and a couple of sticks and produce something amazing. What does this have to do with interiors? Thinking outside the square. Look at the sculpture that can be made from something that is traditionally for fashion and think of basic things on hand that you can turn into a masterpiece.
