Dazy Chains is a knitting project by Hayley Mortin based in Montreal, QC.
The project is named after a concept in computing known as "daisy-chaining", by which multiple devices are wired together to transmit a signal. 'Chaining' is also a term in crochet, which usually forms the foundation of a garment. Inspired by the influence that 18th-century garment-making machines had on the first computational devices, Dazy Chains is a gentle nod to the long interwoven history of computers and textiles.
I work with both a single bed knitting machine and by hand, often combining techniques from both.
My work is available on my online shop and have had my knitwear stocked at Retail Pharmacy, Basic Space, Annex Vintage.
If you are interested in working on a project together, stocking some knitwear in your store or having me at a popup/art market, please email me (hello@dazychains.ca) with your proposal and intented timeline and I will get back to you.
