POPSNew kind of Art ? Crochet and Knit Graffiti Magda Sayeg, founder of the original knit graffiti crew Knitta Please, works to redefine a craft that has been relegated to the stuffy attic of people's brains and dismissed by a limited vision for knitting's purpose, its function, its practitioners. Sayeg's work repositions this granny pastime in public spaces, streets formerly dominated by a hard, masculine public art culture. The fuzzy tags invoke entirely different connotations, antagonizing expectations and initiating dialogue about community-driven art and intersections between art and craft.

POPSGranny Spiral I attempted to crochet this in two colours. After an hour or two of wrangling I finally managed to get to the fifth and final round. That's when I realized I had completely screwed up! I haven't made a granny square before, and didn't realize that the corners aren't crocheted *into* the chain stitches but around. Oi! Will make another attempt tonight after trying my had at a traditional granny square.

POPSCrocheted Dodecahedron Pattern From Berroco I was browsing Berroco's site after having bought their Yoga yarn from Wool Mountain on Etsy, and started checking out their free patterns. They have some unique ones, and I thought this would be a neat toy for my little ones. I could put cellophane inside it to make it crinkle. Of could I'd use worsted since I have so much of it, maybe out of that rainbow yarn I've got. Ooooo

POPSDestash Yarn from Wool Mountain Bought some yarn listed by Wool Mountain ( @ Etsy). Some sort of funky yarn from Berroco called Yoga. Can't wait to get it and make a 'Bruise' version of my crochet dread falls! Also came with a copy of her freeform crochet hat for free! I've had that hotlisted on ArtFire for some time, so that's pretty cool. :)
