My husband and I were listening to ABC Classic Radio today, a national radio station. Now this is a seriously high-brow radio station – no shock jocks, silly business or the like- just serious classical music.<\/p>\n
The news came on, and partway through, the newsreader told us this strange little story about a group in Griffith (south western NSW) that has received some sort of grant to make a crocheted garden. And then he said something about it being knitted (showing his ignorance that knitting and crocheting are not the same thing!).<\/p>\n
Well, according to the Griffith Council website, the Griffith Natty Knitters will be exhibiting a sculptural knitted garden as part of this year’s “Flower Power” exhibition, at the Griffith Regional Gallery in October.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately I can find out nothing more about it. I checked the websites of ABC Riverina (the region that Griffith is in) and local newspapers but there’s no mention of it amongst the local news.<\/p>\n
There are many questions that need to be answered:
\n– who are the Griffith Natty Knitters?
\n– will it be full-size as the newsreader suggested? (he got other information wrong, so I really doubt this “fact”…)
\n– what have the Griffith Natty Knitters made in the past?
\n– are they making the garden up, or are they using patterns?
\n– what plants or other features will be in the garden?
\n– why are they knitting a garden? Why? Why? Why?!<\/p>\n
I’m sure the knitted garden will be a sight to be seen. My nephew lives in Griffith. I might just have to convince him to go along and do a little report for us. Hmm… somehow I just can’t see that happening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
