The Fiber Art in Our Community – Sign 23

When I saw the sign in the one of our community activities, immediately, I asked myself:”what is fiber art?” I just heard for the first time.

Then, I understand that it is a kind of fine art. The art that involve fiber, yarn or fabric. Either natural or synthetic.

The art that involve of significant works in the form of:

- crocheting, knitting, felting and quilting

- embroidery

- weaving and basket weaving

- needle point and many more

I know, but not really familiar with crocheting, knitting and quilting. I think many people love to work or have skills with at least one of these 3 words (crocheting, knitting or quilting)

However, some artists suggested to start with crocheting than knitting, especially for beginners.

It is because Crochet to use one hook, hence minimize techniques. Doing crocheting is easier than knitting.

Do you familiar with crocheting, knitting and quilting?

These art works look so cozy. Issues with doing the fibre art are long term cervical issues due to long working hours with neck flexed.

I like crocheting. Although, I always wanted to knit, but growing up in the south my grandmother's favorite crochet was the granny square which was probably making the most of leftover yarn. At the moment I have been making granny square strip hats. Mostly for co-workers. I wish I knew more about knitting. It seems to be a much more useful skill to know here in the heartland because of the cold winters and knitting scarves and sweaters is an essential.

It's hopeful to see the textile scene these days. To many it's a lost art. But it's been an essential for centuries for making a house a home, and very universal as it touches many different cultures.

Lots of tutorials on YouTube about crochet and knitting that has helped me a lot and from some very unique people from Korea and Germany to name a few.

My wife is a fibre artist and does a bit of crocheting, knitting, quilting, tatting and felting. She makes hats, scafs and gloves for lots of people. I'm never cold with one of her creations on my head or hands. :)

Nice post about this kind of art work. My sister who live in Naples (South Italy) sometimes enjoy knitting. She makes colourful small bags which are useful for tablets, iPads, etc.
Have a nice weekend!
