From the recent Knitting Site in London (pictured right) where the walls are knit from garbage bags, old plastic bags and rope. From the site, “And while some people think knitting is to remain behind walls, we build walls that are knitted.” Pictured left: Cozy, by Janet Morton, Trinity Square, Toronto 1999. Link.
