New monthly column!

I am writing a monthly knitting column for the Western Daily Press. Very exciting so keep your eyes peeled for the Monday craft column.

Gorilla naked again!

Over the weekend the Gorillas Jumper was taken off. Now I need to think about his next garment! Should the Jumper be a yearly thing? 

Frosty Gorilla!

The gorilla had some visitors in the night!

Last night the gorilla's jumper was vandalized... But with wonderful friends and community spirt we sorted it. Suebo is now nice and toasty again! 

Suebo the Gorilla gets a new jumper!

Late last night on North Street opposite Upfest and Papervillage me and my sideknits fitted the gorilla with a new winter jumper!

BIke seat cozies

Podknit gave a very nice Kona a little seat cozy.

2 more bikes got a cozy each outside the Arnolfini.

The Bristol Knitivist's are a group of very talented knitters that have come together to create a knitted urban green landscape just outside the great, everything arty and crafty shop, Paper Village. All the knitted pieces have been lovingly made by Bedminster and Southville locals (oh and a knitivist friend who sent something in the post!) for the Southbank Arts Trial. Thanks to V for organising it all and getting us all together. One of the crew is brilliant yarn bomber Twee as volk who made two of the bike rack covers with frills bobbles and all. We will soon be planning our next knitting take over so watch this space.....

Sass Fee Podknit's on holiday!

Sass Fee is a beautiful skiing resort in Switzerland. With some spare blue chunky yarn and a pair of bamboo needles I was ready and armed with the tools to make Podknit's first yarn storm in Switzerland. I love the red railing on this bridge and the view is amazing. Home now so need to find some green yarn and make, make and more making for a secret North Street adventure!

Soon to be renamed the knitted bridge!

3 more pieces have been lovingly made and places on the bridge since my last walk into town. The question is who created them? The knitted sign must have been very hard to put in place, what a great idea.
