Spinning Against The Tide

The picture at the end of yesterdays post was an installation piece for my Final Major Project, which was for my Foundation Diploma in Art and Design, which I completed in 2003.

I don't really feel like my words can stand alone. Maybe it's just the designer in me. I still haven't got any fresh photos, I have to knit 3 more rows to finish the scarf and I still haven't started picking up stitches on the sweater.


This bag was a simple kit I purchased as I made my return to knitting in June. I belong to a local yahoo group called Hastings Creative Media Community, and a girl working in a local Vegan Cafe called The Rooms posted on the H-C-M-C list for somebody to help start up a knitting group. We decided to call it Knit Jam, as the Rooms is a local music venue although Wednesday evening when we meet it is usually quite quiet. There are only about 6 of us so far if we all turn up. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday evening every month, although I jiggled December's meetings so that our last meeting is tonight.


This bag is a very easy knit in two balls of Noro Kureyon, and then felted in the washing machine. In fact Sheryl who has learnt ot knit at the group made this in a different colourway for her second project.
