Etsy Finds - Knitting Art

Is it any wonder that most of my favourite artists selling on Etsy have work featuring knitting or wonderful knitted scarves and jumpers? I have two prints gracing my walls right now with a knitted theme. I thought I'd share with you ten of my favourite knitterly artworks guarranteed to make your walls feel warm and fuzzy! (Well, not literally but you know what I mean!)

I love Knitting print by Ulaa

A Little Love in Every Stitch by LoveSugar

Big Plans print by Joutomaa

The Little Knitter print by TheBlackApple

Keep Calm and Carry Yarn by JennieGee

Knitty Knitty by AshleyG

Pamela in the Woods by HeatherFuture

Mittens by JuliaPott

Holly Golightly, Ode to Breakfast at Tiffanys by Elloh

Knit Together in Love by MeganKnorpp

I already have the Ashley G and the Julia Pott print and I wish there was room on my walls for more! Maybe knit themed artworks are just like scarves - you can never have too many?!

Who woulda thunk it?

Apparently it's not just the lovely attendees of our Sydney Crafternoon group that are happy and willing to share their knitting wisdom...

"Here's Sarah Jessica Parker in action with her needles, during a break in filming. And apparently, she's keen to share her skills. A source said: 'As soon as shooting stops, Sarah's back to her knitting. She's introduced lots of other people to it - everyone is hooked.' Sarah Jessica was taught to knit by her 'Sex and the City' co-star Kristin Davis."

We might not be uber fashionable bazillionaires but we sure do love to knit and we LOVE to share! So don't knit alone at home - throw your needles and wool in your bag and come say hello some time! And unlike model Kate Moss, who "according to a source in the Daily Star, is trying to keep her new obsession a secret as she thinks it's seriously uncool. She carries her needles and wool hidden away in a big black Chanel bag.", we know knitting is WAY COOL! With or without a Chanel bag or a cocaine addiction.

Apparently craft groups like ours are becoming so popular that even Hollywood is cashing in. A case of art imitates life perhaps? Knitting fan Julia Roberts is set to star in the film 'The Friday Night Knitting Club' based on the book of the same name. So all we can suggest is hang out with us so you can tell all your mates you're the inspiration for celebrities everywhere. Viva la revolution!
