UPLIFT II in Vaasa, Finland

UPLIFT II starts at the town square in Vaasa, Finland on Saturday, September 21. 64 participants created their own blue knitting, a story of the sea. The parts are put  together with gray, domestic yarn. The Finnish part of the UPLIFT project starts to the tunes of a Finnish tango. Accordion player Bo Lund.
The project is a collaboration with Anna-Maija Bäckman and Loftet in Vaasa. www.loftet.fi

When do you "Own your own time" ?

The 83 participants in the knittingperformance  Own our own time II, August 1st in Lerwick, Shetland, also answered two questions.
When do you "Own your own time"?

When I sleep...  Not often enough...   In my car...   In the bath...    Feels like never...    A moment after waking...     Gardening...      When I say NO...    Doing nothing...     When I ride my horse...    When I knit lace...............  

The colour green, what does it mean to you?

Green...to go!! ...    The smell of calm...     First baby nappy...     Life...      Seaweed...   Earthy- my favourite colour...                    It´s a colour among others...   Emaralds- my engagment ring...     Grass...     Gentleness...
