A couple of years ago I knitted 'The Shipping Forecast' as part of a sculpture project. I plotted out the areas of the forecast and then knitted segments that matched up with my highly unscientific calculations. In the end it was a bit of an unresolved piece of work as I couldn't work out how I wanted to display it- I played around with wrapping it on pieces of driftwood, as it looked like rubbish washed up on the beach, but that took away from it's original intention. This morning I dug it out from the knitting basket and took it into my studio space to hang, and hopefully inspire me as I work on my new drawing project ' A Sense of Place'.
