knitted giant gingerbread house

Following on from the tremendous success of the spectacular knitted Christmas Tree, Textile Artist Alison Murray has completed her next project which was launched on Thursday June 28th 2007 at Atlantic Village. The Giant Knitted Gingerbread House has now moved on from Atlantic Village and you will now be able to catch it from the 27th - 30th September at The West Point Center in Exeter. The year long project of a 14ft knitted Gingerbread House, complete with a garden and furniture has been of national interest. [excerpt from Exeter article]

It was created by British textile artist Alison Murray, who has additionally written a book that you can order, In Praise of Ginger.
