What a wonderful, wonderful story! That deserves the name of Real Art, and I hope the critics take notice.

Its still going strong. I live quite near the Strathhaven home and last I heard they were attempting to knit a full sized chair.

I love it.

Have you seen Liza Lou's beaded kitchen?

this link (http://www.the-daily-record.com/past_issues/03_mar/000326dr5.html) shows a bit of the detail; and here's another (http://www.nfobase.com/html/liza_lou.html).

I saw the Kitchen at the Museum of Folk Art here in NYC a few years ago, and was dumbstruck. It's amazing.

Here's (http://linda.poling.com/kitchen2.JPG) a slightly better picture. Remeber that this is a 12 by 12 work. Feet, not inches.

There's a free (.pdf) pattern for a knitted tea set available for download (http://www.interweave.com/knit/interweave_knits/back_issues/SU_04.asp) on the Interweave Knits Web site ... I've seen some completed ones on various knitting blogs and it's freakin' adorable.

some of the art is obviously crocheted as well -- the writers of the article could clearly not tell the difference; maybe they were too busy patronizing the little old ladies, *snicker*.
