This is beginning to turn into a knitting blog. Not deliberately, it’s just the way things are panning out.
I kid you not,knitted chairs do exist. I'm not going totally ga ga just yet. Well they're knitted covers really.
Seems like a new art form to me. They even have a website dedicated to them. It’s brilliant. If you don't believe me take a look Knitted Chairs. Here's a designer one. I'd love a chair like this. It's gorgeous.
Can you believe there’s even a Knit a Chair Day in London. Take a look at last year's here on You Tube.
It's a very environmentally friendly idea. Who'd have thought you could turn ordinary plastic garden chairs into works of art.
Well, I am not too fond of the first one but love the look of the second one. I have never seen or heard of this before, so glad you passed it on to us Winifred. Have you been doing some knitting? I still do, and try to fit in quilting when I have time. Have a great weekend!
I like them both, but the second one best. As for the song, well let's just say I'd probably stab myself in the eye with a knitting needle if I had to knit listening to that more than once. Wherever did you find that video?
That second one is a designer chair and it's in my favourite colour.
Rudee- I'm not sure where I heard it. Think I was just looking for knitting songs. I found it eventually on You Tube. I remember Arthur Askey from my childhood. He was a funny little bloke and I mean little. Very chirpy, cheeky but no bad language. The kind of comedian you don't see now. I sound like a moaning old git.
I don't know about other people but I find my knitting pace varies with what I'm watching on telly or music I'm listening to. If it's an exciting programme I knit faster!
Hippo Chock - There are some great knitting websites now. I spend many a happy hour looking at them. Lots of free pattern websites and some brilliant You Tube videos on knitting.
gday Winifred. Knitted chairs Wow I do a lot of throw rugs and have done a lot of knitting over the years but would never tackle a chair, as matter of fact never seen a knitted chair till now .. I love the grey chair with the cables oh what a lot of work and concentration needed to complete it..
Looks like the second chair is the winner in popularity. I have a niece who could do this and I just might have to send her this information. I hate to give her any more brilliant ideas because she can knit anything! What will they think of next?

ReplyDeleteThat is something to knit that I would never have thought of doing. I am like Brenda I like the second one.

ReplyDeleteI'm totally intimidated. I am just wanting to learn to knit baby hats.

Dear Winifred ~~ I have never heard of knitted chair covers before.
ReplyDeleteYou would have to be very keen.
My Easter was lovely, seeing 3 of my 4 children. One daughter lives in
Queensland. I am so glad that you enjoy the puns and jokes.
Take care, my friend, Lov e, Merle.
gday Winifred.
