knit1, mags, symbiotica

we're famous!.
turns out that there's a new place to melbourne to get your magazine fix - magnation which happened to have knit1 in stock. (not in melbs, or prefer to buy online? stocking knit1 (amongst other goodies) is the thewoolshack.
here's a smattering of the bloggers from the spring issue article about knitters around the world:
jennifer gladwin, canada - uptownyarns.com
annabelle fourrier, france - fee63.canalblog.com
mitsuko tonouchi, japan - thread and yarn handing days
anna bell, uk - my fashionable life
sabine dahlhausen, germany - www.myblog.de/stricky
and the awesome lexi boeger, usa - pluckyfluff.


also spied at magnation, a copy of the deluxe crafts, put out by crafts council which features an article on the combination of fashion and biotechnology. a lab in western australia where art & science meet - symbiotica is featured, with a focus on the work of donna franklin who created a dress from funghi. here's an article on symbiotica, showing the dress.
it's great that someone else has picked up on the meeting of craft and science - we're looking forward to having an article in yarn about biology and knitting, featuring research done via symbiotica.
