The local footie pitch in Abergwilli flooded out. Eight feet by twenty four feet is the official size of the football goal. Covered in a material that obviously, judgeing by the state of the pitch , cannot contain its liquid content. Water polo? Too cold to swim.
The other photos are of work in progress on the `Invisible Cover/ Quilt/ Blanket`. I haven`t decided on a title yet. Inspired by sciences discovery of the meta-material, made of nano fibres that can bend the path of photons, rendering solid matter in its path invisible.
So far, I read they can only opperate on one frequency of electromagnetism at a time. (One colour). But its the beginning of something scientificly significant. Hopefully, so will the crochet! But the nylon overlocking thread the piece is made from is so fine, I am using a no. 4 hook, but it is taking its time to grow. More pictures on Flickr.
I am working in a traditional blanket pattern, three trebles in a two chain gap. I lost the end of the row quite early on, so continued in a spiral. This has given it an undulating surface with fluid qualities and an etherial and airy quality.
Crochet on.
