Textile Artist
This was a lovely job knitting beanie hats for the TV series The Third Day (Sky TV September 2020).
I knitted Fair Isle-type pockets for waistcoats for a couple of the cast and well as several beanie hats with a Fair Isle-type design around the band.
The yarn was all double knitting thickness from Jamieson’s of Shetland.
The design was created specially for the programme.
Here are some of the hats:

Sarah McAlister is a thoughtful and intuitive artist who loves creating sustainable textile work that tells a story. Her ethos is to recycle, re-use and re-purpose existing resources. Her pieces are made entirely from found objects and fabrics and will take on different forms depending on the the materials available. Place is important to Sarah and much of her art is in response to an event or a visit to a particular place. She is currently working on pieces that celebrate local suburban structures and themes.
