Session #127

– Workshop –

The Patience of Placemaking through Knitting together, invites beginners, non-knitters and experienced knitters to come together to become a part of an on-going project – ‘RangKnit’. ‘RangKnit’ is 10 feet in diameter -almost the size of one’s bedroom, tweaking the idea of home. Home, being one of the major concerns today, especially when so many people are displaced whether temporarily or permanently, and are struggling to feel at home or belong in one place. This workshop will give participants an opportunity to feel at home, even if only for a short time. We will sit in a big circle surrounding ‘RangKnit’ and continue the knitting process. Participants may bring their stories, experiences or memories from home whether metaphorically or literally using different stitch types, patterns, colour combinations, or collaging ‘RangKnit’ with crochet, embroidery, patch work, etc. In this way we all bring our home to form one single home (believing the whole world is one family). This will be an informal event – participants will be free to participate in their own way, there is no right or wrong, no mistakes to frown upon instead looking at them as part of their growing selves and their unique identity.

Participants are free to sign up on the day, but there will be a ‘first-come-first-served’ limit of 20 people at any one time.
