Did You Help Knit a Tree?

Posted in News by MKG on Apr 30th, 2009

We got a note in April from Jennifer Marsh that the International Fiber Collaborative's 2009 project, "Interdependence," is complete and on display in Huntsville, Alabama. Marsh is the founder and director of the collaborative, and we invited you to participate in this project — creating a full-sized tree out of fiber — in January. Marsh reports that 7,000 handmade leaves were contributed by people from 23 countries and 39 U.S. states, including many schoolchildren. The tree's final home is to be in the Earlyworks Childrens Museum in Huntsville.

Our annual Yarnover (held April 18, 2009, at Hopkins High School) isn't just about the classes; it's also about wandering through the market and getting a little of everything that's new.  We have folks from the Upper Midwest and beyond selling yarn, patterns, knitting supplies, and general bliss. As always, admission to the sales floor is free of charge, even if you didn't register for a class. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.

You Can Help Knit a Tree!

Posted in News by MKG on Jan 27th, 2009

The International Fiber Collaborative, the folks who spearheaded a fiber-wrapped gas station last year, are kicking off a new project this year:  creating a full-sized tree.  This group, based in Huntsville, Alabama, and founded in 2007 by fiber artist Jennifer Marsh, clearly likes to think big. You can see pictures of their "Gas Station Project" here. Participants took an abandoned gas station in upstate New York and, with the permission of its owner, covered it in "crocheted, knitted, stitched, patched, or collaged three-foot-square fiber panels" that expressed concern about world dependence on oil.

Posted in News by MKG on Jan 19th, 2009

The American Swedish Institute's “Bohus Radiant Knits,” a Swedish explosion of color and texture, opens January 23, 2009, and runs through April 5.

Bohus knitting, which flourished under the aegis of the Bohus Stickning knitting collective in Sweden for 30 years (1939 to 1969), is well-known to American knitters through such books as Wendy Keele's Poems of Color.
