Knit 2 Together: Concepts and Knitting
By focusing on the knitting process, Knit 2 Together combined needlecraft with the conceptual and demonstrates that knitting is a valid medium for personal expression.
The humble knitted stitch has received a bad press. The elder aunt of the craft world, it is synonymous with granny-knits two sizes too large, or women of ‘a certain age’. It is time to reclaim knitting from this stereotype and embrace those of us that love to knit, men and women of all ages – knitting is coming in from the cold.
From knitted interiors, intricately structured textiles, narrative hangings, knitting by chance and French-knitted flowers, Knit 2 Together illustrated the many faces of the art of looping fibres together.
