After finding these amazing knitting blogs

Its got me thinking about my own on going knitting project of making a tent/room out of knitting, I have started to think about turning this into a different more public piece. At the moment I have two large strips of knitting which make up two sides of the room, these could actually be stitched together to make one long strip which would be about 6 meters long, which would make an amazing banner.

American Craft Magazine 0ct/ Nov 09

Whilst looking through American craft I cam across these beauts:
Lisa Anne Auerbach uses machine knitted piece/ garments to voice her political views as a form of protest.

I also came across this other political piece by Marianne Jorgensen against the Iraq war. She created a hand knitted "tank" cosy.
