how did I miss that?
I'm flipping through an old (Summer 2006) issue of knit.1, and I see this. (It's easier to see in the original, but work with me here.)
That's my womb!
So I read the article, and sure enough:
Knitting "with a twist" was on display in January at the Assemble Gallery in Cleveland, where Shannon Okey, author of the Knitgrrl series and several forthcoming fiber arts books, curated a show featuring alternative textile artists....
In the Alt Fiber show, dozens of
MK Carroll's knitted Womb patterns, first published on knitty.com, were
displayed loose on pedestals. Originally knit by members of the Wombs
on Washington project to be placed on the steps of the Supreme Court as
a statement about choice, the "wombs" invited viewer involvement.
etc.
I did make my womb, in screaming-bright blaze orange with a handmade "button", for Wombs on Washington, ages ago. I always wondered what ever happened to it. Now I know. Well, kinda... I mean, that was over a year ago, and I don't know the final resting place of the exhibit. But still.
It's not even the first time I've been in a magazine, but it's still kinda neat. :)
