| Knitted Installation using long (180cm) needles with turquoise knitted piece 180cm long by 80cm wide. Linen box 65cm long, 35cm wide and 35cm deep. In white room. |
after researching and being totally overwhelmed and interested in the works of artist Sophie Horton.The disparity with a normal sized box next to a huge piece of knitting, carrying enormous stitches held on hanging needles, created an interesting concept related to how a change in sizing of objects,either by themselves or with others, alters our perception to form a totally refreshing viewpoint.
Julia Hopson of Penzance, Cornwall holds the Guinness Book of Records for the largest Knitting needles in the world. She knitted a tension of 10 stitches and 10 rows in stocking stitch using the needles that were 6.5 cm in diameter and 3.5cm long!
The yarn was rope with a diameter of 1.2cm.Please See below.
