Human knitting machine
Art workshop - 10-12 years
What is knitting, and can we use our own bodies to make a human knitting machine? Clothing designer Ingun Myrstad learned to knit with needles from her grandmother when she was little. But it was only in the meeting with a knitting machine that she was hooked. Not only is it easy to knit on a machine, it is easy, fun and you can make unique garments. In Human Knittingmachine she shows the children their own creations and tells about different knitting methods. Besides needles and machine, what else can we use to make stitches, which is knitting? The children can also try to make a human knitting machine, and thus experience how to knit stitches. They get to try to knit straight and purl stitches, make stripes and maybe we get a rib?
