Fibre Artsists for your entertainment..
While we are under wraps with restrictions we are still able to appreciate and view Fibre Artists and their wares through the wonders of Internet activity.
I have found one site in the USA that has asked their Artists to upload youtube videos of their creations that have been Juried. If you click the link then scroll down through the body of the text you will find the videos.

Hopefully we will find more of these examples of virtual Fibre exhibits over the next few months until such a time that we are able to visit the galleries ourselves

Hi everyone.
The
fibre
‘strands’ have started to arrive, and it’s very exciting to see what
people are making! I’m grateful that so many creative people have become
involved in this project – we are over 90 participants now (!) from
several different countries. There’s still lots
of time, you have till April 30 to create a strand for this
installation.
As
mentioned,
your piece can be knitted, crocheted, woven or otherwise created with
fibre, anywhere between 1” to 6” wide, and up to 10 or 15 feet long!!
(shorter strands will be attached to create long ones). You can use any
material (yarn, string, jute, natural or synthetic)
in any colour or colour combination.
Remember,
the piece you create is your interpretation
of the theme: the underground ‘network’ of mycorrhizal fungi which
allows trees to communicate through their roots. It also represents our
connection to each other through other types of networks such as the
internet. All the strands will be suspended/interwoven
to create one large installation which in turn symbolizes our
connection to the natural world.
Several
people have asked me what will happen to the installation after the exhibit. I’ve
been asked to submit a proposal to exhibit the installation Mississippi Mills Textile Museum in Ontario. (TBA) After that, I
haven’t yet formulated a plan for the yarn, but it will definitely not
be ‘tossed’. I have a few ideas and am open to suggestions!
Please contact
me if you have any questions.
Thanks again
for your interest!

Hello lovely knitters,
Sorry I don’t have everybody’s emails
but I thought to reach out to you and let you know that I am dedicating a
knitting spot at the shop for drop-ins. It was so nice hanging out
around you when you came to the store a few
months ago. I created a Facebook event for a self-guided knitting drop
in time on Wednesdays between 3 and 5pm. The slot can also be booked for
a group of people, in which case I will have to close the store
depending on the number. Of course you are welcome
to book any other times. I hope you can share this information with
your knitting friends so they know there is a space available if they
feel like a change of scenery.
