WWW: Weaving and Crocheting Shopping Bags, Unique Fundraiser, and a Museum Roundup

I love this report of plastic shopping bags being reused and crocheted or woven into mats for the homeless by residents in an independent and assisted-living facility in Gainesville, GA.

Some may with they had access to this fundraiser for ‘underappreciated’ knitted items (this particular endeavor is local to Waterloo, Canada).

Museum roundup:

• On the morning of Sunday December 9th, museum members can enjoy Knitting at the MFA (Boston, Massachusetts). Please note that tickets are required.
• ST Presents Museum Confidential: The World-Famous Crochet Museum an audio podcast about the World Famous Crochet Museum in Joshua Tree, California.
• Yes, it’s been all over — at Tate Modern (London, UK) the first major exhibition of Anni Albers work is on view through 27 January 2019.
• In Norway, there is a Museum of the Norwegian Knitting Industry (via From petrol to knitting, seven of Norway’s quirkiest museums )
• Uzbekistan may follow Azerbaijan, establish own carpet museum
