Crocheted Plastic Bag Laptop Sleeve

Check out this laptop case I crocheted from plastic bags. It's made from the best colour! And I'm recycling and saving the world and all that blah. If you'd like to make your own just leave a comment and I'll post a tutorial for you.

In related news here's a tutorial about how to make your own plastic bag yarn. It's easy and fun, hurrah! Also have a look at this round up of all the ways to turn your plastic bags into cool stuff on Treehugger.

My knitimation 'I Am Ahab' has been showing at my degree show all week to rave reviews... If you haven't been to see it yet then tomorrow (Sat 23rd) is your last chance to marvel at it in it's knitted plinth housing. Here are some photos of the crowds enjoying themselves if you can't make it. It's on the 4th floor (Sculpture dept.) at Camberwell College of Arts, Peckham Road. I'll be there in the afternoon invigilating/answering all your knitimation questions. See you there!

I've finished the video for 'I am Ahab' by Not-Too-Distant-Future. It's currently on display at my degree show at Camberwell College of Arts. You can go and see it in it's lovely knitted plinth from Tuesday 19th June to Saturday the 23rd. Or you can watch it now in all it's YouTube glory! Let me know what you think...

Cloud in a box

I went to see the Anthony Gormley show Blind Light at The Hayward Gallery today. He made a cloud in a box! It was much fun and very spooky seeing people disappear right in front of you. I highly recommend visiting it before it closes on the 19th August and then you can take some spooky pictures like this one.
