Benice2mice - Crochet Food

Very very very cool. I don't know much about this item apart from being sent it from Dan at my last work experience - kudos Dan. Hopefully I'll find out a little more about their construction at a later date when I get round to emailing the person behind them.

They look pretty amazing and so tactile - they really remind me of the Blur video Coffee and TV (amazing and well worth watching, see the end of the post) and a bit of the opening titles of Napoleon Dynamite (again see end of post). From my very little knowledge of crochet they look very detailed and must be reinforced with some skeleton - make me really want to know how to do them though - can't be that hard being a fairly good knitter.

Hopefully I'll have more news at a latter date and maybe post some more of my knitted stuff? We'll see.

Graffiti Knitting

Not a clue what this is all about but looks very intriguing. I think I'll have to get a friend to translate it for me. I did read an article in either Graphik or Creative Review from this month that featured something similar. I think it might be a graffiti like knitting scheme where people go out and knit round railings and such using double pointed kneedles. Looks very intriguing. I'll post anything more I find out but take a look at:
