Behind the Scenes

The knitters and crocheters of El Stitch y Bitch spent their entire summer stitching away flowers, calaveras, papel picado and more for our beloved Day of the Dead altar at Vida Breve: Day of the Dead 2010 at the National Museum of Mexican Art.

So how did it all go down? We’ve compiled a small slideshow of our yarn adventures. Enjoy!

Drop Dead Knitting

It’s August!!! … and it feels like Summer is going by so fast!

Over the last few months El Stitch y Bitch has been all over our communities from Berwyn & Cicero to Pilsen & Bridgeport. We have spent our summer knitting/crocheting a massive amount of unique pieces!!

What could it be?

 

In 2008, we covered the streets of Pilsen with “Graffiti Knitting”; then, in 2009, we got together in Bridgeport to create our very own “Piñata” for NFO Expo @ Benton House… and this time, we are honored to announce that El SYB will be a part of the “2010 Day of the Dead Ofrendas at the National Museum of Mexican Art”.

Here’s a sneak peak, but stay tuned… We will be giving more details very soon!!
