I feel like a knitting hack. I like to knit. I knit nice things. But this, people, is AMAZING.
700 knitted panels in this music video, which LOOKS like a music video, from the Quebec band Tricot Machine (Tricot means knitting in French). The panels were knitted by designer Lysanne Latulippe of the fashion label Majolie. And I love the song. It's a lovely, gorgeous piece.
Enjoy.
My jaw is on the floor. Amazing, especially, for some reason, the scene where the woman puts a hat on the man's head. So fluid!
Thanks for posting that!

La musique, la video, la tricot! Avec tout c'est parfait! I have it written down, and will look for that album! The words parallel the knitted panels perfectly! Merci!

That is so neat! I just sent it to all my knitterly friends.
Good things come out of Quebec, I always say.

I love the entire album. This song is called "Peaux de Lièvres".

Wow! Breathtaking and awe-inspiring!
Oh, and today when I was in my local chain drugstore, I saw Cadbury Creme Eggs - and thought of you. And bought 4.

Beyond amazing. Thanks so much for posting. Hmmm.. do you think they're hand knitted? The ambitious scope reminds me of another mind boggling project, the Knitting machine at MassMoCA, http://www.as220.org/~rachel/Images/massmoca/
