Knitted work by Melanie Porter

a few days ago i watched news on our national tv, TVRI, about hand-knitted chair by Melanie Porter.. i was amazed by her work, it was so beautiful.. she did everything herself, from A to Z.. she loved to use unusual material people usually don't use, like theater chair, or something very common from local thrift store, like usual paper lampshade, and turned them into beautiful knitted artworks.. every chair was unique for it was all hand-made and always came out with different pattern.. the diameter of wool and knitting needles she used was unusually big and not available in store, they need to be specially made beforehand.. visit her blog here.. http://melanieporter.co.uk..

here are some of her work..

the theater chair

the knitted lampshade

the signature chair, union jack

my favorite

she even had done knitted flooring, wow!

each work sold for £1000 to £2500.. a bit expensive but it was worth a lot of love and passion in it.. it's a dream job! love it soooo much! ♥
