We had a great time at the opening event by the Manitoba Crafts Museum and Library! Follows are some pics of the opening kick off and a brief description of the exhibit. I really liked the bicycle made entirely of knitted wire.

Exhibit:
Casting On: Knitting in Manitoba

This exhibit features hand-knitted pieces made primarily by Manitoba craftspeople. Traditional techniques are showcased in historical pieces, and contemporary pieces expose new stitches and designs, unique fibres, and hand-dyed yarns. Some Manitoba industries that have centred around knitting, including the Mary Maxim Company, the Spin-Well Woolen Mills in Sifton, and the White Buffalo Mills in Brandon, will also be featured.
