Knitiffi at Kew

We are really pleased to have been commissioned by Kew Gardens to create tree cosies for their summer festival, Plantasia.

All the cosies are now installed and the festival opens tomorrow.

The festival is an opportunity to immerse yourself in nature’s healing sanctuary and experience the stimulating and transformative power of plants; from barefoot walking trails, to home remedy workshops. See how life-enhancing plants and fungi affect human health in mind, body and soul, then, visit our knitted vine tree and vote for your favourite plant by adding to the vines.

Venice Water Droplets!

A little visit to Venice provided the perfect opportunity for some Knitiffi action inspired by all that water!!!

Queen Vic!

Thanks to our amazing team of knitters...Queen Victoria is now looking pretty colourful on our rainy bank holiday!

"Beware of artists. They mix with all classes of society and are therefore the most dangerous." - Not our words the word of Queen Vic!!

We wish you a wooly Christmas...

The Knitted Caravan!

The Knitted Caravan is finished!! Knitiffi wrapped an Airstream Camper caravan in wooly loveliness at the Expressions 2010 arts event 5th-9^th October 2010, a part of Aspects and Milestones Trust.

The caravan is also the office of the Paintworks event space, based in the main courtyard. The owners continued with their week of work, snug inside their new colourful and cosy knitted surroundings!

A huge team of knitters, crocheters, and pom pom makers have been involved in our most ambitious 'Yarn Bomb' to date- a big thank you to everyone who took part and donated their time, skills, wool, sweat and tears!!

Office Yarn Bomb!!

Our first 'YARN BOMB'...Employees and clients of Bristol-based charity Aspects and Milestones Trust turned up at work to find their offices had been hit by a yarn bomb.

Staff turned up in the morning to find the pillars wrapped in knitting and brickwork covered in knitted bricks. Knitted butterflies festooned the bushes and little clumps of knitted flowers and toadstools had sprung up in the greenery.
