<br />Aside from preparing for the imminent arrival of the newest member of the ArtYarn family, it's been a very busy few weeks. <br />I've been busying myself with designing some mini Christmas Knits (jumper and pudding) and trialing out some wonderful patterns I have found online (tree and cracker). These little knitting projects were selected and designed for the final Close Knit Manchester of 2012, aptly themed around Christmas knitting projects.<br /><br />ArtYarn have also been working on 2 new exciting commissions, both of which will be featured here and on the ArtYarn website in early 2013. <br />I can tell you that one commission is in collaboration with Action Factory in Burnley, Lancs, takeing place in Wigan, and the other a very exciting commission for Recycle for Greater Manchester. Please keep posted for more info, as the latter project is a participatory project for all to take part in.<br /><br />Merry Christmas and a very happy 2013 from all here artthe ArtYarn camp in Yorkshire :)<div class="blogger-post-footer">please visit: www.artyarn.org</div>ArtYarnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09661656972331658654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853748645142346593.post-19788660353410248022012-12-01T10:54:00.000+00:002012-12-01T10:55:12.812+00:00Crochet: Developing a Craft<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Crochet: Developing a Craft</b><br />
By Nancy Nehring<br />
<br />
Modern crochet dates to the early 1800s and is well documented by Lis

churches. Likewise, she found no written references to needlework that
can be positively identified as crochet existing before the same time
period. A reference to shepherd’s knitting (slip stitch crochet) in The
Memoirs of a Highland Lady by Elizabeth Grant dates to 1812. The
earliest known instructions are in an article in <i>Penelope</i> magazine (Dutch) in 1824 discussing the new technique....... Read the full text <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://lacebuttons.com/?page_id=488">HERE</a></b></span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: small;">Slow Slugs by <a href="http://www.florentijnhofman.nl/">Florentjin Hofman</a></span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Angers (FR) 2012<br />2 pieces of 18 x 7,5 x 5 meters <br />Metal, football nets, and 40.000 plastic bags.</b><br /></span><span style="font-size: small;">The
work is made out of 40.000 plastic bags that move in the wind. The
slugs are ascending this steep city staircase that leads up to a huge
Catholic church, essentially signifying their slow crawl towards death.
The work reminds us of religion, mortality, natural decay and the slow
suffocation of commercialized societies.</span><br />

I'm also pleased to be delivering a brand new crocht course this Autum ' <a href="http://www.ministryofcraft.co.uk/shop/Knitting,-crochet-&-felting/c8/p422/Stripy-crochet-purse/product_info.html">Stripy Crochet Purse</a>' , along side the regular and very popular course ' <a href="http://www.ministryofcraft.co.uk/shop/Knitting,-crochet-&-felting/c8/p421/Knit-it-now:-Stunning-wire-beaded-jewellery/product_info.html">Knit it Now: Stunning Wire Beaded Jewellery</a>' . Both courses are suitable for beginner + ability, so you only need to know the very basics of knit and crochet to be able to come on the course. </div>

as inspiration for creating their own artworks, participants began to tell
their stories of life in the city. Handmade postcards were sent to and from
each organisation, making connections between people as they travelled across
the city. Over the course of the project, participants created a body of work
reflecting their own interests and ideas whilst learning new skills such as
mono-printing and embroidery.</span></div>

alumni of The Manchester School of Art’s Embroidery degree. After graduating
four years ago, both artists have worked creatively within the community with a
variety of groups, including adults with learning disabilities and people with
mental health difficulties. Connecting Threads is their first collaborative
project and arose out of their shared interest in using creative art as a tool
for improving a person’s wellbeing and self-esteem. </span></div>

In the current
economic climate, homelessness is becoming an increasingly visible part of life
in our cities. On creating the project, Becky said: “We wanted to build a
project that would engage with a group of people who are often unrepresented
and disengaged with the arts.”</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last Sunday ArtYarn took part in the family event 'A World Together' in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Creating a small and experimental intervention in a beautiful little woodland in Crows Nest Park, ArtYarn invited visitors to create Fabric Yo-yo's and Pompoms to add to the work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The project was mainly created out of fabric wrappings along a fallen tree in the woodland, using lace strips, yarns and fabric embellishments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a welcomed change to be able to explore some different and simple methods for making this project, a small step away from using our usual knit and crochet techniques to make an installation. It's given me plenty to think about and sparked some new ideas for future projects.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are a few more images from the day, thank you to everyone who took part in the workshop and added to the project...</div>

Many thanks to everyone who took part in ArtYarn's latest community kntiting project for the 2012 <a href="http://prestonguild2012.com/">Preston Guild</a> celebrations. Over 1000 knitted diamonds we're received from knitters from across the UK and beyond. Through workshops these beautiful knitted cozies were created and displayed for the <a href="http://vintageguildweekend.com/">Vintage Guild</a> weekend in Avenham Park preston.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Preston Guild is an historic celebration, which dates back to 1179 - sharing a heritage of over 800 years. It is the only Guild still celebrated in the UK and, as such, is truly unique. Held only once every 20 years, the 2012 celebration will be the first Guild in the 21st century and the first since the granting of Preston’s city status in 2002.
The Guild has a long history and has evolved considerably over the centuries - playing an important role in the developement of Preston as a thriving Lancashire city. However, the one thing that has always remained the central focus is people -the people who plan it, participate in it, promote it and the people who tell their stories of the Guild to children and grandchildren.</div>
