I read in today's Guardian that Margaret Atwood has knitted a Great Auk, for the Ghosts of Gone Birds exhibition. Isn't that wonderful? Actually it is not news, except to me - there have been several reports on the exhibition and her contribution over the past few weeks/months, all of which I have missed. You can read an interview with her, and see a photo of her knitting, here.
While I was looking around in the interwebby universe for details of the knitted great auk, I found several reports that Margaret Atwood has joined Ravelry and that the Great Auk will be her first Ravelry project. I have managed to find her username and profile, but unless she is using an extra layer of pseudonymity, she hasn't yet posted any projects. Pity - I'd like to know more details and see the finished auk.
