Since 2017 I have done a Year project, where I do a thing a day throughout the year.
2023 was the Year of the worm.
This worm is made using leftover yarn and stuffing and ended up being 20 metres and 23cm long - see what I did there!
Previous Projects:
2017 - Year of the stitch
2018 - Year of the patchwork
2019 - Year of the pom pom
2020/21 - Pandemic Dick
2022 - Year of the Vulva
2023 - Year of the Worm
2017 - Year of the stitch. I did a stitch a day and after about 212 if was a different stitch and then I had to repeat them.
2018 - Year of the patchwork. Using fabric I was working with I kept a square a day and created a huge patchwork piece, which I used to upholster the bench of the Craft Booth in my old studio.
2019 - Year of the pom pom. I made a pom pom a day and they are now all displayed in my studio at The Corp. You can spot them if you look up.
2020/21 - Pandemic Dick. 2020 started as a weave but as the pandemic hit I started making a dick a day using all my scraps to make and stuff them. It was fuelled by all those people beings dicks: the government, people out shopping and social media weirdos. I made 463 in total, one a day from lockdown until I was fully vaccinated.
2022 - Year of the vulva. Using my scraps I made a vulva a day from all my fabric scraps and hung together to create a vulva chandelier.
2023 - Year of the worm. Using up my scraps of wool and stuffing I crocheted a 2023cm long worm. That is just over 5cm a day.
2024 - I will use all my leftover fabric and scraps and create a puff ball quilt.
