'Let's Knit Together': Performance



Performance as part of COMMON PLATFORM, Group Exhibiton, 21st May 2010, SWG3.

Props = Computer chair, yarn (twine), size 7.5 knitting needles, leather gloves.

Place computer chair 5-10 metres away from a pillar twine can be securely tied to. Tie twine to pillar and unravel to computer chair (leaving enough to cast on and begin comfortably) and cut. Cast on 10 stitches using end of twine, sit down on chair with feet off the floor, and start knitting. As knitting continues and becomes tenser and gradually more difficult, the piece of knitting gets larger, while the knitter and the chair get closer to the pillar (wall).
