Cork Knitting Map
Don your leathers and join the purl pack!
We’ve knitted on the buses, we’ve knitted on the trains, now we’re going to knit on motorbikes
Cork-based theatre/dance company half/angel is knitting its way through 2004 in preparation for The Knitting Map, one of the projects planned for Cork 2005. The knitting speeds up on Saturday, 25 September when Norries Motorcycle Club bring a motorcade through the city, leading to a performance in Emmett Place and a Knit-In at the Shandon Craft Centre.
The ride-out is part of a series of monthly events organised by half/angel on the last Saturday of every month to raise awareness of The Knitting Map and to build a database of knitters for the Capital of Culture project. Hundreds of knitters, experienced and beginners, hip young things, children and grannies (and some Dads too) have already taken part in Knit-Ins this year in the Crawford Gallery, Civic Trust House, Merchants Quay Shopping Centre, Blarney Woollen Mills, the Cork Vision Centre, as well as on the buses and on the train to Fota.
Motorcade Route:
At 1.15pm from the Carrigrohane Road at Victoria Cross, along Western Road towards City Centre, following one-way system (Dyke Parade, Sheares Street, Grattan Street, Washington Street). Turn right on Grand Parade, and then left into the South Mall. Turn left into Parnell Place, and then left onto Merchant’s Quay. Weather-permitting, performance in Emmet Place, and then across Christy Ring Bridge, left up the hill (John Redmond Street) to Shandon Craft Centre.
Date: Saturday, 25 September 2004
Performance: Emmett Place 1.30pm
Knit-In: Shandon Craft Centre 2.00 – 4.00pm
All are welcome. Bring a picnic or have a snack in the Craft Centre café, while Jools Gilson-Ellis has us grinning at another marvellous knitting performance in a specially designed costume, followed by our knit-in and a sing-along with musician Eli Kelly.
Further Info: Michelle Whelan at half/angel

Special Directions: Your Knitting Conductor will be waiting at each of the bus stops listed below. Make yourself known to her by showing her your knitting.

Get on the bus carefully and sit close by the other knitters, and knit whilst you drive into the city. Be careful not to enjoy this too much, or you may be spotted. Once you are in the city, your Knitting Conductor will lead you to unheard of Knitting Experiences at Secret Locations! Tell no one you have gone on this Knitting Mission, or there may be serious trouble. . .
Get your bus into Cork City from the four corners of the city!

The Number 5 from Cork Institute of Technology at 12.30pm to Patrick Street (bus terminus at CIT on Rossa Avenue, Bishopstown)
