Spinning a yarn (bomb)

The doors of the different Docklands Art Collective (DAC) participants were adorned by Lynda Sharp’s “knit-bombs” on International Women’s Day (March 8).

Lynda Sharp, the owner of The Fat Yarn Store and a DAC resident herself, said she wanted to pay homage to generations of women before her.

“I’m saying I believe women’s traditional arts and crafts are an artform and often not recognised as such,” she said.

“My mum used to knit and she’d say ‘oh I just knit’ and I hear a lot of amazing older women saying I just do this or that.”
