Musings on knitting, crochet, and a fairly loopy life.

a very long list

These are the paintings included in my mini-movie "The Fine Art of Knitting." The list is formatted by Title, Artist (year). I've tried to use the English translation of titles wherever possible since few of us speak English,  French, German, Russian, AND Dutch.

I'm completely open to corrections on any information I've gotten wrong.
