In 2002, Freddie Robins mounted an exhibition featuring knitted homes of female killers or the houses where they committed their crimes.
Knitted Homes of Crime: Eleanor
2002. Hand-knitted wool, quilted lining fabric.
Hand-knitted by Jean Arkell. 26 x18 x 16 cm
From freddierobins.com:
Mary Eleanor Wheeler, aged 24, was living with a Charles Creighton under the assumed name of Eleanor Pearcey. She was having an affair with a married man, Frank Hogg. On 24 October 1890 she invited his wife Phoebe to tea. In her own kitchen she battered Mrs. Hogg over the head with a poker and then slit her throat. She also killed the Hoggs’ 18-month-old baby daughter who Mrs. Hogg had brought along with her. Eleanor put the bodies into the baby’s pram. When it was dark she pushed the pram around disposing of the two bodies as she went. She was soon caught. Despite her claims that the blood in her kitchen came from a session of mouse killing she was found guilty and hanged at Newgate Prison on 23 December 1890. Her father had been hanged ten years earlier. Her last request was for a mysterious advertisement to be placed in a Madrid newspaper. It read “M.E.C.P. Last wish of M.E.W. Have not betrayed”
Gruesome!

Says loudxmouse, “So I was asked by another craftster to knit an alien face-hugger for her BF. Always up to a challenge I whipped up this baby. The pattern was jotted down while I knit, so if you try to make this and have an issue, do not hesitate to email me or ravelry-message me. I will do the best to decode my pattern!”
Visit craftster.org or Ravelry for all the links and details you need to make yer very own alien face-hugger.
