Underwater Knitting

IF you have a spare hour between Monday & Thursday, you must go and see this knitted creation at RHS Rosemoor, Nr Torrrington.

Entitled Above and Below the Waves, this creation is by Bideford based textile artist Alison Murray.

From a sketch to a full sized display in 5 months

The pieces features a walk through tunnel with every conceivable sea creature featured there

 
Some of it truly inspired

And some just plain clever

Sea horses & coral

shoals of fish caught in nets

and old rope, with all the sea creatures you might expect to see hanging from it.

This is knitting as an art form, rather than the art of knitting!

Now I'm thinking knitted tar barrels for carnival - what do you reckon????
