Knit Guerilla Art aka Knit Graffiti

August 22, 2008

I encountered knitting as guerilla art in the book below (thanks nchenga for bringing it to Switzerland). This evening, I stumbled over this.


guerilla art kit by nchenga.

I really like the idea of putting knitted stuff in the environment. I didn’t see any knit graffity in Basel so far, but who knows, may be I just didn’t know where to look for.

The Art of Blocking

August 22, 2008


Blocking squares is a lot of work. And now I know why a blocking board with a grid would be helpful. In complete lack of a board, I use old camping matresses, but they are on the thin side. And not stable enough. But if you look at the before and after square, blocking is definitely worth the effort.
Before:

After:


Anyway, I am in train on crocheting the squares together, see my progress on ravelry
