Conceived by Cambridge’s artist in residence Sue Sturdy, the project covered the heritage bridge with colourful stiches. The concept was to remind the residents of the local connection to the textile industry. When the work is dismantled the knitted pieces will be tweaked into scarves and blankets and auctioned off for the Cambridge Center for the Arts, and others donated to charity.

What an awesome project! It must have taken a long time to knit! Iam from Christchurch New Zealand and onto a similar project: making a giant container cosy for one of the many shipping containers that line our earthquake dammaged streets. The cosy will hopefully bring smiles back to people! Have a look on facebook for container love. Would be cool to get some suport from you!
Cheers,
Christine
