Shades of Colour

As part of Margate's Summer of Colour and supported by Arts Council England, Turner Contemporary, Margate Town Team and through a Kickstarter campaign we worked with the community in and around Thanet to create over 30 bright and cheerful giant lampshades using knitting, crafts and printing.  This was a summer long project over a period of 4 months and the shades appeared in and around Margate between August 2014 and January 2015 - extending Summer into the winter months

A Few Wise Words Festival

 Invited by The Wise Words Festival in Canterbury to run a workshop during the A Few Wise Words event, we can up with web words and a short plant-able poem written by Callum Duff, beautifully contributed to by the workshop participants - if you missed it, we'll be back in September

Summer of Colour Fish for Margate

As a further contribution to the Coat for a Boat project (displayed at Turner Contemporary, Margate) the knitters and stitchers of KnitterKnitKnitKnit created a series of bright and beautiful fish, which found homes around Margate's Old Town.

Follow the Herring

We heard the call and kept busy creating herring to contribute to this piece travelled down the coast from Musselburgh - we landed them by the bucketload and they all went on display at Turner Contemporary, Margate alongside the fabulous travelling Coat for a Boat project.

Lachrymose

We were invited to create a participatory workshop at Turner Contemporary to accompany 'Lachrymose' - a choral salute for those lost at sea.  This was the result, created with ships rope and sailors knots, and the addition of memories and remembrances

The Silence of Knitting

Artist Dawn Cole invited us to lead a skill sharing session as part of The Silence of Knitting.  This was followed by a very moving session in a sea front shelter, overlooking the sea where a zeppelin had come down in World War I, silent knitting, followed by spoken world at 11 on the eleventh of the eleventh

A Patch of Autumn in Dulwich Park

We were commissioned by Southwark Council to produce an event in Dulwich Park and the result was 'A Patch of Autumn'.  We spent three glorious days in the park, making knitted and crochet pumpkins and pom pom bats and spiders, whilst being sung to and joining in with the lovely Aimee Leonard - a series of knitting songs which led the way for a trail through the park at dusk to see all the creations installed...

Wool Week Window in John Lewis

We were lucky enough to have our knitting as part of the window display in John Lewis, Oxford Street, for Wool Week and Daisy Lowe was presented with a bouquet of daisies crocheted by our fair hands

Pushing Print (year 2)

We returned for a second year to Pushing Print and rather than printing 'blind' we coloured up our 'printing plates', created using yarn and crochet, to create coloured and embossed wallpaper prints

Tree in Margate Old Town

The giant French knitting created in Minster and Broadstairs, has moved from Ramsgate to Margate - thanks to all who helped create it

Pavement Paradise

Commisioned by Ramsgate Arts as part of the Summer Squall, we worked with community groups throughout the area to create Pavement Paradise areas around Ramsgate.  It was a fun and well received project with over 200 participants contributing to the displayed artwork, which many stopped to admire during the festival.
