A little private time

News Knitter

I must thank my brother for this fascinating link to the News Knitter website

To quote the website

"News Knitter converts information gathered from the daily political news into clothing. Live news feed from the Internet that is broadcasted within 24 hours or a particular period is analyzed, filtered and converted into a unique visual pattern for a knitted sweater. The system consists of two different types of software: whereas one receives the content from live feeds the other converts it into visual patterns, and a fully computerized flat knitting machine produces the final output. Each product, sweater of News Knitter is an evidence/result of a specific day or period."

Oh what are we going to do next with knitting?

Fence bombing

This is another way of looking at graphs and charts but on a more public scale

Knitted Sushi

An argyle burger for my mains and some vegetables and fruit, for starter and pudding

Team Textiles is an interesting blog based in Tasmania Australia

They had an interesting article on the knitwear designer Timothy James Andrew

Interesting use of Pom Poms (and a little fashion reference to the previous post on the Burry Man)

The South Queensferry Burry Man

South Queensferry just north of Edinburgh and sandwiched between the two Forth Bridges has a Burry Man festival each year....Now I know that he is not knitted but he looks very textiles....

Burry Man day is on the 2nd Friday in August, if you happen to be in Edinburgh for the festival...
