Radical lace and subversive knitting book
Radical lace & subversive knitting by David Revere McFadden
Now there's an emerging trend for Stretch and Kvetch that's - you've got it! Knitting and craft groups are forming to provide support as well as goods to needful people that range from the homeless, to cancer sufferers, to casualties of war.

Posted on Mon, January 1st, in Exhibition Reviews. In place of the usual stereotypes the plague knitting and lace making, Chief Curator of the Museum of Arts and Design, David Revere McFadden has assembled an exhibition defined by large-scale work and alternative materials. More often than not the materials here are other than textile: chocolate, metal, glass, shredded money and video all make an appearance. Strangely, there are few examples of work that interrogates the structure of knitting or lace.
