Art.Slaw
A chronicle of my (near future) adventures in Law School and the arts. B.S., B.F.A.,M.F.A. and now J.D. Follow me while I attempt to collect the entire alphabet.
Finally knitting a triangle scarflet. Kept putting this off but I’m hoping it’ll be a good future sister in law x-mas present.
Here it is on me. So soft and delicate. I’m casting on a scarf out of this stuff asap. (Rowan kidsilk haze).
Done with the first Alice in wonderland wristlet. Kidsilk is soooo soft an pleasent to work with. Turned out too big but I fixed it in the seaming. Z thinks his little sister would wear them so they’ll be going to her. She’s just starting highschool- perfect age for fingerless gloves. I just think they look silly on anyone over 20.
Knit Graffitti- There are no words to describe how happy this makes me :)

More info on Love’s project at her blog: My Fair IsleRobyn Love with the help of over fifty volunteers has created The Knitted Mile, a duplicate yellow stripe recently installed along a road in Dallas, Texas as part of the exhibition Gestures of Resistance curated by Shannon Stratton and Judith Leeman. The exhibition at Gray Matters continues until March 20, 2008. Love writes…
“The knit stripe is done in garter stitch and is four inches wide. I also am using a crocheted chain stitch to create words that are sewn on top of the garter stitch stripe. The words are (or will be) quotations and/or other thoughts about how knitting is a gesture of resistance, particularly in the context of our culture of immediate gratification as embodied or evidenced by Dallas and its car culture.The gesture of placing a mile of knitting upon the roadways of Dallas is intended to be an intervention, an interruption of the everyday environment created for cars and trucks (all that they imply) with this lovingly made, handmade element. For me, it is as much a poetic gesture as a political one.”

Artist creates blacklist of buyers
Legal battle over an artist’s personal blacklist of buyers that sold her work off too quickly. Seems like an interesting legal question. Art is a commodity with a value set by the current market, availability, demand, etc. but the artist has ultimate say over who they will and will not sell too.
