Stickkontakt showing there gratefulness.....for my kindness.

I was just pleased to be asked, and very much appreciated.

I got paid to help a community project, paid the best way you can Yarn.
But it was a gift that got me thinking I  haven't seen one of these blue and white carrier bags in a while.   A while being in over a year to be precise, I have been home for nearly one year, now that's scary.

I MISS YOU SWEDEN

It's made in Germany /very hand made, even the packaging looks like its been made with love a pom pom packet almost.

All over the WORLD!

I helped or am helping, a little bit makes a big difference.

I sent the Home Sweet Home graffiti for this project and a little goodie bag of other knits, triangles above.  Which you can see in the graffiti shot above they are under the bridge.

Stockholm's graffiti knitters , below I translated a little.  For the full story link above.
 It was tough as hell. Lift broke. Not just once. Several times. It was cold. it was weeks and weeks of work all rolled in.  crochet stitch, threads clipped, tied, carried across the world.
They thank all who helped. (hugely)
I have been busy lately and its a global task, so far, Sweden for a project in Denmark.

Duck Stalker

http://twilighttaggers.blogspot.com/2011/03/float-away-duck-project.html
It's seems my ideas are taking on all over the world!!!
whilst randomly looking for some thing's to do with the Melbourne festival of light, I couldn't believe my eyes!

Chance or a copy? how did this happen.

I think that the ducks are a pretty good imitation.  And really if I where the inspiration, I'm  pretty flattered its just suck a good idea.

Maybe we could do a duck exchange?

A Crocheted Body Part

Yes its exactly what it looks like.

A Lady's most intimate form, why.......

My earlier post about this.

http://theknittingforartexhibition.blogspot.com/



L had a bracelet similar to this and of course I noticed it, I sort of guessed what it was and the button detail made me laugh.

Even before she had explained about the exhibit and the little cut away crochet in the wall, that was also a Vagina.

The exhibition in short "about immigrant women taking there space around them".

The Gray picture below is from exhibition.



I have worn mine for the last two days. To have my little part in the project and it's quiet funny the response.........

Either a glance and a nod as if a fun crochet bracelet.

Or

Others have smiled, as I think that they may have guessed a female form

That it in fact looks just like what it is supposed too be;-)

Why Indeed, my crochet lettering progress so far.

A little of my Crocheted art, I really like this so I'm sharing it.;-)

Myself Stickontakt and Ramdom Things Post.

Tumba and the scene of the latest Stickontact project.
And best of all they invite me to join;-)
Tumba over ground train, the station roof, pretty cool a boat skeleton.

Graffiti/Art/Expression about women immigrants claiming the space around them.

Also prejudice against invandrare(immigrants) and against the suburbs.
