Knit an Aran Armchair Slipcover
While suffering disappointment earlier today at my favorite craft store–they were out of the yarn I wanted–I meandered over to the pattern books and found a copy of Erika Knight’s Simple Knits with a Twist: Unique Project for Creative Knitters ($15.96). I about let out a whoop when I flipped the pages to a picture of this knitted slipcover. I’m not sure how practical it would be, but it certainly is beautiful! Now…if I could just convert the pattern to crochet…..??

The Loveseat series began with the discovery of several wooden kitchen chairs in a dumpster. I rearranged and distorted the familiar forms, using simple methods and introducing intimate materials, such as leather, hide, hair and sinew, to suggest familial, intimate, and/or dysfunctional relationships between their implied occupants. Their manipulation has been guided by a desire to evoke the experience of individuality and conformity, strength and frailty, connection and isolation, and the experience of pleasure and pain.
