I am Ahab

The dawn of a new knitimation is upon us. It will take the form of a music video to the song 'I am Ahab' by Not-Too-Distant-Future. Go and listen to them and jump up and down!
Months of knitting and moving things just a tiny bit at a time await me now... Woo Hoo!!!!

Yesterday on tinternets...

I was innocently searching out how to do an alternate cable cast on for a knitted hat when I made a shocking discovery. As I watched the video of how to do this new cast on I thought to myself 'this knitting looks pretty strange, let me just watch the how to knit video'. To my horror it was not remotely like how I knit! When I was learning I sort of made it up from some confusing instructions and I've actually been using a method called combined knitting. Oh dear. So now I've been learning how to knit all over again, it's slow, but at least patterns make sense now!

New knitimation

I've just finished a new knitted animation for Donna Wilson.
She made the wonderful bunnies, also known as Kate Hare and I animated them.
Have a look at it here.

Landmarks

My knitted piece 'Severed Monster Head' is in a show called Landmarks. It opens this Wednesday so if you've never seen it go along and have a look before it gets sold for millions of pounds.....

It's at The Lethaby Gallery on Southampton Row, just up from Holborn station in the bottom of Central St. Martins college. It's open from the 16th-31st August daily from 9am - 6pm.

Get in!

Today I met Donna Wilson she knits really cool creatures! I'm going to animate some of her long-legged bunnies doing a can can dance, should be good fun. And I'm doing work experience for her in October. Top stuff!

Horror knitting

Check out this German crocheter. She makes bloody woolen monstrosities too!

Patricia Waller

I'm loving the shark eating a leg.

In other news I'm on summer hols till October now. So I will mostly be knitting and learning to crochet. Any suggestions for things to knit would be most welcome!

New Site

Well here it is a brand new look for Max's World! With incredibly smooth blog integration........ The excitement of it all!
Anyway you can expect to find lots more knitting based everything from now on.
Oh and if you spot any bugs please let me know. I think everything is working, but you never know...
