"A Nautical Knit", Friends of Anchor, Bon Accord Centre, Aberdeen, July 2017

            To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of helping to make the North East of Scotland’s cancer and haematology the best it can be, twenty of these beautiful anchors were placed in various locations. This one was located upstairs in the Bon Accord Centre in Aberdeen. Now I believe they are about to be sold for charity. 
The artist is Jenny McHardy and she studied textiles at Aberdeen Gray School of Arts after that she obtained an MA in knitted textiles at The Royal College of Art in London. She designs under the label “Nervous Stitch” and she has a real interest in traditional and modern knitting. 
She says “Knitting and the sea go hand in hand and my anchor highlights my interest for fisherman’s ganseys and Scottish textiles. The anchor has lots of detail and Jenny is delighted to be part of the anchor voyage.
