We need your help

We are trying to raise £2500 to help fund K2TOG - Knit 2 Together through crowd funding.  We've set up a Sponsume page where you can donate from as little as £1.

http://www.sponsume.com/project/k2tog-knit-2-together

We want to engage people from across the region to contribute to a visually spectacular artwork welcoming the American and Jamaican teams to Birmingham. We want to engage those who already knit, but also pass on traditional hand knitting skills to new people. The piece will be made by the people for the people.

The money raised will help fund workshops in order for the piece to be made. We will be going out into the local community in order to pass on the skill of hand knitting to those who have little experience of traditional crafts.

The money raised will also help to fund a pop-up shop in the Mailbox, Birmingham, a relaxing drop-in space where anyone can come to contribute to the piece and find out about the project. Staff will be on hand to teach basic knitting skills and local workers can pop-in over their lunch hour or after work to knit a square or just a few rows.

K2TOG - Knit 2 Together

This summer Sara Fowles and Stitches and Hos aim to cover with knitting the columns on the outside of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery to commemorate the visit and stay in Birmingham of the Jamaican and American Olympic teams. A palette of six colours (red, white, blue, green yellow and black) will be used to create the installation.  The colours are taken from both team’s national flags and are the same colours used in the Olympic rings logo.
