I've just learned from Helen that the (British) Poetry Society is doing a knitted poem. The Poetry Society has chosen a poem but kept it secret, and folks have volunteered to knit a letter on a square. Then it gets put together into order and will be revealed in October 2009.

Sadly, all the letter squares have been taken, but knitted and crocheted blank squares are needed to fill in around the words. Contact them if you'd like to participate.

I'd also like to point out, especially for any AntiCrafters living in Virginia, that Poked You Too is not just your average tattoo and body piercing parlor, but a gallery and a retail shop for handmade goods.

"As our region continues to encourage artists through the new museum in Roanoke and small independent galleries throughout the area, we wanted to add our own unique style of art to the mix – both through fine art offered by area artists and a retail shop stocked with only handmade goods made from independent artists around the world that simply can’t be found in our area."

So if you're in the area, check them out!
