Its been a hard days knitting! It has almost got to an acceptable scarf length now which is great. Thank you everyone who has taken part. Our tally at the moment stands at nearly £60! Unfortunately I will be working tomorrow but my beautiful assistant Christine will be taking donations and knitting instructions for my return!

Storyline Starts

Storyline has started! Its been a great evening full of inspiring conversations about knitting and other related stories.

Thank you to everyone who took part tonight. We have already raised £20 and that is in just 3 hours of knitting and chatting!

Storyline

Storyline is a knitbased artwork that is happening at the Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh on Thursday 17 - Saturday 19 June. This has come about through research into narrative textiles to see whether giving clothes more meaning will in turn result in them being kept for longer. The audience will be invited to choose between a variety of stitches which I will knit until the next style of stich is requested. By doing a raffel (the prize being the resulting scarf) I will be raising money for Help for Heroes at the same time. Check this space for updates on how much we raise and what the final product looks like!
