a final major project by Bonnie Kate Wolf
We made television, guys! So I’m going to be interviewed by these folks:

Sunday the 12th at 6:30 PST and you can watch online OR catch up later afterwards!
Good work, team!
Are you confuzzeled?

You’re asking me “Where should I be an artist?”
And I’m telling you.
Here are the top 10.

We made our goal in 5 days! And now we are just going up! I am going to use extra funds to make the moon and to help support my small business.
Which is here:

We hit 70% because of you guys! And soon you’ll all see some maps.
And if you’re on ravelry, you can join
http://www.ravelry.com/groups/knitting-the-world-together
because Rebecca told me I should make a ravelry group and she was right!
You want to check out http://westknits.com/ and see all the glory that is Stephen West: shawl master. He makes patterns that are beautiful and crafty (as in clever) and just the BEST. He also dances and is chock full of excellence.
Thank you to everyone who is contributing to the project!

Stephanie Dosen is, like me, an American living in London. Unlike me, she is actually made of fairy dust and unicorn laughter. Her patterns reflect this. Go check her out!
Who are you and why are you wearing so many hats? I’m Bonnie Kate! Last January I started knitting and gave myself the goal of 11 hats (for 2011). In the end, I made 24, most of which are now in the happy homes of friends and family. You can see more of my knitwear at: http://www.ravelry.com/people/thefamousfriend or at

What kind of map? I am hand knitting a world map, demonstrating through color where it is best to be an artist, where grants for the arts are plentiful and a dynamic artistic community thrives.
Where is it being displayed? The map will be my contribution for my final show at university. It will be on display for a number of days there where approximately 12’000 people will have a chance to see all the glory, from students to professors, to London’s artists.
Why should I support this? By supporting this map, you are allowing me to purchase the 6000 yards of yarn with which I need to knit. That’s 60 football fields of yarn. Your support will prove to London’s artistic community that knitting is a valid art form, that it can be monumental, that knitting can be cool, graphic, and innovative.
So what’s in it for me? I like things. I imagine you do! Every contribution gets you a lovely hi-res image of the map photographed by our professionals in the LCC studio (they have lights and cameras would you believe it?). You’ll also get updates on how the map is progressing through my blog: http://knittingtheworld.wordpress.com/ where I’ll post videos, songs, photos, and knitting tips. And if you look to the side, you’ll see how you can earn knit goods, blog features (all happen between March and April), a spot on the map, even your initials on the final piece!
