knit, crochet, knit, crochet...
so in my textile investigations class we just started a knit/crochet/weave unit. and there is no final project, just lots and lots of samples, 20 of each technique! to learn the basic stitches we're allowed to use regular yarn, but after that we have to work with unconventional materials. and i want to work LARGE! i saw Christien Meindertsma's work a while back (the second image with the massive knitting), and am very inspired. and then today i saw this huge-scale crochet rug by ladies&gentlemen.
