Well, the summer is winding down, but the kids are still having fun creating with yarn and fiber. This week's group couldn't wait to show off all the things they have been working on. Take a look at the Camp Photo Album to see all of the fun projects.
Today they were making pom-pom buddies, bead bracelets, customizing their knitting needles, and more...
We want to wish you a happy 4th of July and remind you that the shop will be closed Friday, July 4th in observance of Independence Day. We will be open our regular hours on Saturday, 10am to 6pm, and Sunday, noon to 5pm.
San Jose Quilt and Textile Museum has two exhibits opening June 17th. The first is Beyond Knitting: Uncharted Stitches. The “exhibition highlights a variety of approaches and subject matter that artists are tackling using knitting as the primary technique. Each artist transforms the simple notion of needles and yarn with new techniques and fibers to create work that is haunting, humorous, political and personal.”
We are pleased to collaborate with the Museum on this exhibit. We will have a “commuknity store” at the museum for the duration of the exhibit. Look for other special offers regarding commuknity’s participation in this exhibit.
The second exhibit is Crocheted Reef and Anemone Garden, an installation of sea life created by the 7th grade class at Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School in Palo Alto, California. Students created this coral reef, composed of approximately 500 crocheted life forms, including coral, sea sponges, squid, sea stars, sea jellies and urchins, as part of a hands-on experiential unit combining art, science and language arts and to draw attention to conditions threatening the world's coral reefs.
We've gotten quite a few calls about the blanket pattern in the email we sent out this week. The pattern for Babette Blanket is available on Interweave's website.
It's great that you can order a single pattern from back issues of Interweave Knits & Interweave Crochet!
