Crochet Art at the 2012 Olympics
By Rachel Choi – 8 Comments| I read somewhere on the web that 12 artist will be selected to make art work for the 2012 Olympics in London. One of the top artist that is being considered proposed to make three 30 feet tall crocheted lions that will be posed into athletic positions. 30 feet tall lions, that’s a lot of yarn!!! |  |
I wonder how long it would take to make a lion that big, but at least the artist has until 2012 if selected. I can’t imagine crocheting anything that huge. I do hope that this artist is selected so that I can see giant crocheted lions. It would be awesome and great publicity for the art of crochet.
What do you think?
Wow, sounds cool! I wonder what they will do with those lions after the games (it would be nice to have one in my front garden lol)
Woah! Thats really cool, and kinda weird xD
That would be so cool!! btw, I LOVE your crochet spot!!
o my gosh that’s insane! i hope it happens!!
That sounds so-o-o-o fantastic!! I can hardly wait for the olympics to see that
WOW. Maybe they will have folks scheduled to do a row or two. Maybe send in squares . . .
I bet that Lion Brand would be willing to do some sponsoring of that project… 😉
Though I really like the people making squares idea too! 🙂
