...At Last....
...She is Done...
With five minutes to spare before the beginning of shabbat on the 21st of May 2010, the Lorax Project was completed with bamboo dowel and tabs all measured and in place.
This collective project was born out of our school's eco-minded sensibilities. Using both traditional and alternative environmentally friendly yarns, members of the PPDJDS community have contributed knitted and crocheted pieces of various colours, patterns and textures.Thank you to Moreh Seth for planting the idea of a school knitting project in my head last spring, and to all our talented fibre artists for their many hours of enthusiastic creativity and labour. Also thank you to Marilyn & Jonothan of Romni for guiding many of the knitters through the aisles to find the ethical yarns for which they were searching. The result is a rich and stunning collection that truly reflects our fabulously eclectic community.
Fibres used: Alpaca Wool, Bamboo, Banana Silk Fibre, Cotton, Hemp, Milk Fibre, Organic Cotton, Pima Cotton, Recycled Cotton, Recycled Silk, Recycled Wool, Sea Cell / Seaweed Fibre, Silk, Soy silk, Sugarcane Fibre, Tea-dyed Cotton, Tencel, Wool.
Fibre Artists: Ali, Debbi, Yafa, Rosanne, Zoe, Cindy, Jennifer, Meredith, Tanya, Liora, Cydel, Micah, Janet, Aviva, Jeremy, Dena, Caren, Shira, Elana, Rona, Jodi & Osnat

Finished on the day I started reading The Omnivore's Dilemma there's serendipity in blogland for you.
I love the different fabrics in it. That leaf floating on a variegated background deserves its own sweater.
