(K)NOT CROCHET
(k)not crochet was an interactive session on MSTeams as part of the 24hrs ON EARTH event for the University of the Arts London (UAL) Research season 2022 on Earth and Equity: Integration environmental and social justice. The session aimed to create space for conversation to emerge while we attempted to make an improvised knotted piece. (k)not crochet was initiated and facilitated by Lynda Beckett and Ana Vicente Richards, both members of the Experimental Pedagogies Research Group and PhD candidates at UAL, whose mutual interest in crocheting generated a conversation between them. Crocheting or crochet involves interlacing loops of yarn formed either on a knitting needle or on a crochet hook, to form a shape. The session created a space for making an improvised knotted piece loosely based on crochet as a way to think together while making. We and the attendees sourced materials in advance. After a short demonstration of how to make a slipknot, we encouraged ourselves to be guided by the curiosity of our hands and minds, feeling our way through the materials and conversation to find our individual path of knots and loops. There was no expectation for completing an outcome or arriving at a conclusion at the end of the session. Silences were welcomed and necessary while we concentrated and tried to find a flow and follow a rhythm; starting and restarting, mumbling, listening, observing, sharing, getting frustrated, asking questions, making, conversing….Through a process of knot-knowing the session made us feel learning in the making, in parallel with Ingold (2013), as we spoke of between what we think we know, how we think we know it and how we feel it is known.
Invitation to the session:
“Bring some thread, old clothes, towels, fabric, used plastic bags and/or any other flexible material you have available…. and a hook or a stick or a wooden spoon (and you can also just use your hands)….to make an improvised crochet piece while we hook up together to discuss any EARTH issues on our minds. No previous experience or knowledge of crochet is necessary as we will be making up our own crochet techniques as we converse.”
