Knitted Hotel Room Created By Artist Kate Jenkins (PHOTOS)

Knitted Hotel Room

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 11/29/11 04:05 PM ET Updated: 11/30/11 04:14 PM ET

At the Hotel Pelirocco in the English seaside town of Brighton, guests can cozy up in an entirely knitted room.

Dubbed "Do Knit Disturb", the single room comes with a slew of knitted objects including a lamp, comforter, toothpaste and toothbrush, telephone cover and matching curtains, reports The Guardian.

Other woven creations found in the yarn filled room include a traditional English breakfast and a do not disturb sign.

With a background in design and fashion, artist Kate Jenkins spent two and a half weeks knitting or crocheting each item, notes Treehugger.

Born out of the artist's philosophy that anything can be produced from yarn, earlier this year The New York Times reported on the global DIY movement of "yarn bombing" where statues, lampposts and trees are fitted with knitted or crocheted clothes, cozies and more.

Check out Kate Jenkins entirely knitted and crocheted hotel room below.

Looks like one of the cajillion thrift stores around the country. Big deal. I think someone went to a yard sale and picked up some granny goodies!

The words "amazing" and "artists" and "designer" were used, why?
This room looks no different than my sister's in the 1960s and 70s. It is an OK looking room, but my sister was a young teenage kid and back then it was normal.

A knitted English fry-up breakfast of eggs, beans on toast, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, and tea! I love it!

I'd never heard of that before! Thought they were making it up, but no. 103,000 google images for yarn bombing. I'm going to have to dig out my needles.

The only thing that looks knitted to me is the wall and is that wallpaper? The rest of it is crocheted. People constantly confuse knitting and crocheting - they are quite different.
