Ferrari: Knit edition
With wheels, it normally has to move in addition to moving me, but this immobile exception rocks: 22 year-old UK art graduate Lauren Porter knitted herself a full-size Ferrari. She has reportedly gotten men admiring the racing lines and old ladies digging the stitches. All hail the art of the craft!
The red bodywork consists of 250 squares of garter stitch made by Lauren and 20 family members and friends. The windows are V-shaped stocking stitch, while the details are crochet and the badge is embroidered. It’s all supported by a steel frame which she welded herself. Her 12 Miles of Yarn will exhibit at Studio 95.

Hi Sabrina,
It seems Studio 95 gallery (Brick Lane, London) doesn’t have a website but I imagine you can contact them via the British Telecom phone directory online for more details.
