Knit Lab

Vintage cotton, below Vegas

knit lab
Rosenlundsgatan Stockholm

A whole new chapter No official exhibition! Not as such, I just blend in at Knit lab....... well almost
(Blend in and me?, not really compatible!)

On show is a lot of my Stuff I think that it is always good to see how other people deal with your art, curation.
(How it's displayed, what go best)


Lenah is a natural at this and the vintage cotton piece, I had never thought about a black back ground. Its gives a whole new feel to the piece.

Pop along and take a look;-)

London influence!

For the background I have used a acrylic as a marbled effect almost teamed Black and lite orange and pink in with white
(Paint not stirred)

This is just the beginning, funds are tight at the moment. But I'm inspired, so this is just your cheap shop flat canvas.(The type with visible staples in the side!;-()
I just felt the need to experiment.

The black I have added a brick effect using a house hold new sponge.

Lettering




This was a knitted art project that I did a while ago and the lettering I never finished. I tried but at the time I could knit/crochet as well as my imagination.

Two years on and things are very different.(my knit skills) So I'm re visiting one of my largest knits to date.


Art letter I need to make and the title to the piece
"This is me, this is not me"(isn't)

Finlay

Fin
Lay
Finally finished fabulous Finlay.

Tiny Travel crochet project

Teeny tiny travel

The cotton cost 20kr around £2, so a completely budget and tiny Uk travel project;-)
For a change I can board a plane without carrying a huge bag of yarn.

Update-Baby Blankie Finlay

Bobble yarn for edging. And I have lime green yarn for the F & A holes.

The free form letters I think have worked so well. I really have enjoyed crocheting in all different directions.
I'm edging the baby cot blanket with a bobble type of yarn that is made from nylon (Just like tights).
It reminds me of a clown out fit.
