Strik på museet – knit in public part 2

Skriv et svar

Knitting Bee møder Bybi

For andet år i træk holder Knitting Bee  Knit in Public på Statens Museum og strikker. Første år var det vejret der førte os indenfor. I år kom vi fordi vi nu ved, hvor dejligt et sted det er at strikke offentligt.

Det er en fantastisk følelse at komme på dette store og fascinerende museum og vide, at der er flere timers strik og snak forude.

Museet var ikke så besøgt i dag, men det gav mere tid til at tale med dem, der kom forbi. Fortælle om Knitting Bee, om Bybi og naturligvis om Knit in Public. Strikke og sy tæppet sammen og hjælpe store og små igang med at strikke lapper til tæppet. Læs resten →

So the christmas break is over in a few hours. 
I’m ready! 

I start this year with a course which does not directly concern Knitting Bee, but some of the stuff behind; getting in contact with more people through social media. 
I’m so excited!
This week also features a google+ hangout with Kathrin(us), Kristina(dk), and Inge(se). 
We are making an online blanket and you can join us and be a part.

I just been working on my first piece. I’m going to decorate it with stars or flowers – 
I hope that you’ll join us

hør lige var der ikke noget med et tæpper der bare lige skulle…?
Jo syningerne holder ikke så godt så de fleste er jeg ved at sy over igen. 
Og det er perfekt arbejde at lave i de stille dage her efter jul. 
Jeg har nemlig besluttet at der skal trækkes lod om tæppet 19. januar i SkønVirkes lokaler på 
Prinsesse Christines Vej 15, i porten, 2300 Kbh S
Der kommer flere detaljer senere – nu skal jeg nemlig sy.

Tonight my husbond show me this video on Ted.

The artist Janet Echelman making art from fishing net!
Watching this film was a huge creative infusion – especially thinking about the blanket ‘A secret’ and the question: What is a net?

A few weeks ago I meet with my partner in crime yarn, Kristina. 
We talked about the blanket ‘a secret’,  how to make the blanket and make a design that would work. 
So I have decided to make a design and choose some colors… 
It only feels a little bit like an early takeoff.. 
The blanket and the ideas about creating it from scratch was beginning to be somewhat intangible, so I have started a design that indicate ‘a web’ to me. 
There will be great opportunity to interpret your own ideas about a web on to your pieces. I will make the pattern in pdf so you’ll be able to download it.
I got a donation of yarn the other day and the colors are so great that I have deiced to used that yarn.

Og hvor skulle de så hen forleden? 
Jeg skulle interviewes til Amager Bladet og ja det er nu en gang tæpperne, der får mig til at snakke, så de måtte jo med sammen med lapperne til Odiles tæppe, strikketøjet til Bybi, arkivet og de små honningkrukker. 
The blanket went to the cafe – I was interveiwed by the lokal newspaper, and since the blankets make me talk, I’ll had to bring them along :)
