In The Loop; Knitting Now


In the Loop: Knitting Now features VAS's invited artist for 2010, Deirdre Nelson, and explores the progression of knitting, a craft which has come a long way from its fuzzy image of thick socks, long shawls and embarrassing motifs on Christmas jumpers. Now there are knitting groups that meet in quirky venues throughoutthe country, as well as hundreds of clubs and contemporary artistsintent on reclaiming the craft. In the Loop maps knitting’s journeyfrom solitary hobby for old maids to mainstream, contemporary trend.
