Amazing Knitted Skeleton.
February 5, 2011 | 
Author We all get our curiosities over what we can make with knitting. That’s part of creative obsession. Amiguri is an interesting
aspect of knitting and crochet. You make little animals and other small figures or caricatures of people with yarn and a bit of stuffing. Then there are those who go way beyond and take yarn crafts into the realm of art. This one doesn’t really qualify as amiguri, but maybe on a higher realm.
At THIS LINK you will find a sculpture of a complete human skeleton made with knitting. Construction details are not available. Imagine getting the pattern for this! And then working on it in the subway or such.
The work by Ben Cuevas is called “Transcending the Material” and was installed and exhibited at the Wassaic Project Summer Music and Arts Festival when he was in residency there.

Fast Knitting Video – Socks
Below are two videos sent to me by my penpal Larisa. She knits socks using 5 crochet hooks instead of DPNs and it’s pretty fast. Very cool idea. I hope you can pick up the idea from the videos. I bet of you could keep track you could do patterns with this method. The videos require Quicktime to be installed on your computer. The video will take a couple minutes to download.
