Yesterday was spent sitting and knitting at the Huntington Beach Art Center with my new friend, Amy who has an exibit at the canter currently on display. She is part of an exhibit called "MANufactured", exploring models of painting and sculpture through the use of such manufactured materials as plastic, fabric, and fiber; including Cathy Breslaw, Amy Caterina, Maureen Shields, and Tomoko Suzuki.
Amy is on a mission to knit an entire Psudo-sod car cover and calling on all knitters to participate by knitting a swatch for her. I sat and chatted, laughed, knit sod and even sold some yarn while i was there.
Psudo-sod is one strand of brown worsted weight yarn held together with one strand of grass colored eyelash yarn, knit on large needles, all in garter stitch. Sounds yucky from a yarn standpoint but actually resembles grass when worked up. Stupid Blogger isn't latteing me post pics so go over to my personal blog to see the pics i snapped of her progress as of yesterday.
The car cover project isn't the only thing on display. She has Forest Fire Friends which are large knit animals and some other pieces using Psudo-sod at the Huntington Beach Art Center.
