“Grey Garments” Starring the Ladies of Mason-Dixon |
|
Move over Edies! The ladies of Mason-Dixon Knitting have mixed the classic documentary film Grey Gardens, A&E’s hit TV show Hoarders, and of course knitting, to create one hilarious video extravaganza for needle arts lovers everywhere. Watch the riveting documentary here on CrafterNews.
The year is 2039: A documentary entitled “Grey Garments” is being filmed about the reclusive Ann Meador Shayne and Kay Gardiner, who are living among impossible piles of yarn and scattered packages of Lean Cuisine and Beef Cup O’ Noodle in their New York City apartment, where they are facing eviction.
They talk about their failed book concepts, including “Three Socks on A Circ” and “Knitting for Couples”, but remember their triumph when the paperback edition of their book, Mason-Dixon Knitting was released on February 9, 2010 (still in print, in 2039)
