Cassette Tape Crochet
How awesome is this? Crocheting doilies out of cassette tapes has to be the most wonderfully neato thing I’ve seen in a while. I sort of wish I hadn’t thrown out a bunch of really crappy tapes from my youth recently.
This was created by artist Jennifer Cantwell and can be found in the “cut” section of her blog. You can read more about it at Craftzine and Unconsumption.

Knitted Skeleton!
“The installation piece Ben Cuevas chose to showcase at The Wassaic Project features a knitted skeleton seated atop a pyramid of Borden’s condensed milk cans and a cloud of screen prints on Plexi glass suspended above it. The knitted skeleton is seated in the lotus position. The prints are of disembodied anatomical parts photographed in high resolution with diagrammatic illustrative overlays. Ben conceives of the piece as a reference to material culture and Wassaic’s local history (The Borden Company had a condensed milk factory in Wassaic) and a meditation on transcendence.” -Bora Mici
Goodness. This must have taken AGES to make. See more pictures at The Art of Ben Cuevas.

I didn’t take a lot of pictures this time around because I only had my iPhone with me and it’s having trouble holding a charge lately. But I have pictures of my swag to show you!

Really? Seriously?
Wax lyrical about “sculpting” all you want; I demand that Jillian Carrozza’s hooks be confiscated in response to this tragedy of a top.

When I Ravel
Day seven: 3rd April. Your knitting and crochet time. Write about your typical crafting time. When it is that you are likely to craft – alone or in more social environments, when watching TV or whilst taking bus journeys.

Perhaps Someday!
Day six: 2nd April. Something to aspire to. Is there a pattern or skill that you don’t yet feel ready to tackle but which you hope to (or think you can only dream of) tackling in the future, near or distant?

This is an experimental blogging day to try and push your creativity in blogging to the same level that you perhaps push your creativity in the items you create.

Reminiscing About PJs
Knit Crochet Blog Week: Write about the fate of a past knitting project. Whether it be something that you crocheted or knitted for yourself or to give to another person. An item that lives with you or something which you sent off to charity.
