Take it Further challenge

Last year I joined in Take a Stitch Tuesday from SharonB. I started, I made my stitches more than 20 weeks, but then I went to hospital and I never came back. I am sorry about it.
For 2008 there is another challenge: Take it Further. I hesitated to join it, but now I decided YES. I want to be there. One topic for one month, it could be not so difficult for me.
Maybe I will go succesfully through all year, maybe I fail. But anyway it is chance to learn something, to see works from other people.

Knitted art

REcently I dicovered knitting art by Mafuyu Murakami, japan ilustrator, that use knitting needles and yarns to make real art.
Interview with Mafuyu you can read here.
I love knitting, but I still knit more functional things like pullovers or scarfs. And I admire people they can skip limitation of practical using and make something like Mafuyu.
