HOPEFUL

It took 12 months and 24 of SG’s sexiest fiber freaks to create the free form knit and crochet explosion—complete with flowers and butterflies—which is just over two by four feet big. Participants included members and Suicide Girls who reside all over North America.

And it’s gorgeous!



Instead of tearing the piece (and the Stitch and Bitch group) to shreds deciding who gets to hang it on her wall, the group decided at the very beginning to hold a raffle. All money raised during the raffle will be donated to the MFTA.

Since 1978, Materials for the Arts has provided thousands of New York City's arts and cultural organizations, public schools and community arts programs with the supplies they need to run and expand their programs. Materials are gathered from companies and individuals that no longer need them and redistributed to the artists and educators that do. In the process, hundreds of tons are removed from the waste stream every year and kept out of landfills, helping to sustain our environment and promote reuse and waste reduction. MFTA helps artists realize their visions, provides students with a richer educational experience and furnishes businesses and individuals with a simple and efficient way to enhance the cultural life of their city.


The raffle begins February 1st and runs through February 21st. Tickets will be available for one dollar each or six for five dollars (US) at www.sgknit.org. The drawing will be held on February 24th, 2007. The amount of money raised will be posted on the 24th, as well.

Photo quality prints of the work in progress and the finished piece are also available at www.sgknit.org. Prints are available at cost.
