The Brooklyn Botanic Garden brought a small exhibit to the conservatory of knit flowers, plants, and vegetables, and some friends and I went to check it out today. It’s called Knit, Purl, Sow and they’re even teaching some beginning knitting classes there too.
The way the pieces were executed was truly stunning—larger than life flowers hanging from the ceiling or mounted on the wall. Knitted art can be so inspiring! It’s just too bad about the lighting of the exhibit, which created some terrifying shadows. If you’re a knitter and heading to the BBG, take a swing through to take a peek! It’s there through January 22, so you have plenty of time.

Wow they look fantastic. Some could have come straight from 1970s Dr Who!
Those are some amazing works of knitting and craftsmanship. Wish I lived close enough to see them and thanks for spreading the word.
Wow! I don’t think I will be able to travel to Brooklyn before those pieces are gone, so thanks for the amazing pics! Seeing incredible fiber art is one of my favorite things to come across.
Oooooh, I want to see this. I hope you’ll go again with us.
Thank you so much for these pictures. They’re so inspiring and beautiful.
Ooh, I’ll have to find time to head over to Brooklyn soon, especially since I’ve never been to the Botanic Garden there. Thanks for sharing!
