Three days left — no, two — until the ArtBeat festival in Somerville. Members of my Sunday knitting group will be there, teaching people to knit, crochet, and spin on drop spindles provided by Lucy at Mind’s Eye Yarns. The theme of ArtBeat this year is “Mix & Mash,”� so we’re attempting to fit into that theme by mixing techniques and using nontraditional materials. For instance, Kathy came up with the idea of using ordinary twine from the hardware store to make coasters. Other projects we will be doing are listed in this previous post. We may try a few more ambitious things, but I won’t mention them here in case they don’t pan out. Anyway, if you have some free time on Saturday and feel like hearing some bands, eating some good food, or shopping for crafts from pottery to jewelry to handbound books, come by Davis Square on Saturday between 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. And if you do, stop by our table and say hi.
The adorable Mix & Mash graphic above was done by Somerville artist Yani Batteau. You can see more of her work here and here.
