Summary: Operation Homespun - the next Generation, an exhibition of contemporary knitting, opened at the Craft Council Gallery in St. John's last weekend. You'll remember we helped get out the call for knitters to take up Anna Templeton's traditional knitting pattern book and put a 2012 twist on anything they found in there. Well, the results were overwhelming and the group show that was born from that competition proves the point - knitting rocks! Shirley Scott was one of the curators of the show, a well-known knitter in her own right. I visited the gallery this week and spoke with Shirley about Operation Homespun. I began by asking her about the response to the call for pieces.
