Panmure Primary School students knit for 'The Hole Big Yarn'
5th May 2009
The Panmure Primary School are working hard on their contribution to The Hole Big Yarn project at the Panmure swimming hole.
Students have used the opportunity to learn how to knit as well as coming up with miles of finger-knitting and pom poms to place in the space. Early in the project they worked with artist Amanda Fewell and RADO Jo Grant to come up with an idea around the themes of the project and have been knitting and finger-knitting their little hearts out!
Be there on the day to see the results - Sunday 31 May, 2.00pm. Stay tuned for updates.
[Contributors to this project include: a core group of Panmure residents; the Panmure and Cudgee Primary Schools; Framlingham community; artists from across the region and groups such as Moyneyana House in Port Fairy, Port Fairy Craft Group and Western Plains Spinners and Weavers.]

I love seeing the contrast of computers and knitting. Knitting is so slow and tactile with a result that is so warm and tangible.
Great Pics!
