For the past year or so the knitting group at Art Station has been knitting blankets for an exhibition in May. The theme of the exhibition is shelter and the blankets are going to be given to the Red Cross for refugees once the exhibition is over. Most of our knitting has been at home but we meet once a week at Art Station to knit, chat and go to local art galleries and see what is new. Last week we went to one across the road and there were a couple of interesting knitted pieces in an exhibition by up and coming artists - a large length of knitted fabric made out of plastic bag strips in different colours, and a similar length of "material" made of very finely rolled pages of fashion magazines. The middle photo is one of my blankets and I am in the third photo knitting at Leys library - we go to public spaces and knit!
