The fabulous store Atomic Pop in Baltimore recently hosted a book reading with KnitKnit author Sabrina Gschwandtner, which also featured artist Laure Drogoul’s amplified knitting project. As the Baltimore Sun notes:

It may conjure the echoing footsteps of someone spelunking blindly in a cavernous room. Or it may evoke the collective heartbeat of a knitting bee, lost in the repetitive rhythm of handiwork.
