From tub chairs to wing chairs, Chippendales to Egg chairs, Melanie painstakingly strips them of their original upholstery and then covers each chair in her hand knit panels of cable knits, patchwork, cross-stitch, and crochet. Details like hand covered buttons, pom pom accents, union jacks, painted frames and color combinations best show off the textiles.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXWB4wdgl7qJIHnfbs9PS8WvlNS2o3Wmg6P61rqNRqcK3wgOnBni6xLEhyphenhyphenoIqRcIew7f9L02MrI034v7rMjbwlT0Nx0NnDxXpSGDI3fg9fh0zMDVHcjbDPss9efWTjfYKQg1aUhoQIDxpL/s1600/Hand-Knitted-Sweater-Chairs-by-Melanie-Porter_002.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520197515489016002" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXWB4wdgl7qJIHnfbs9PS8WvlNS2o3Wmg6P61rqNRqcK3wgOnBni6xLEhyphenhyphenoIqRcIew7f9L02MrI034v7rMjbwlT0Nx0NnDxXpSGDI3fg9fh0zMDVHcjbDPss9efWTjfYKQg1aUhoQIDxpL/s400/Hand-Knitted-Sweater-Chairs-by-Melanie-Porter_002.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 527px; height: 371px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxq4N1P2ZKTNcIWtI68t-kANeGdVhg4AWBUadXnkEIZux13GMCqsXXxCf4_WscyFxOIArCBFWZhMR4FqHKbEYUm-t3rsLegaPIQ5PR83lys4etO1-0izUyF1ItZjgsEM3d3KnpwgAinryj/s1600/Hand-Knitted-Sweater-Chairs-by-Melanie-Porter_003.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520197416293337010" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxq4N1P2ZKTNcIWtI68t-kANeGdVhg4AWBUadXnkEIZux13GMCqsXXxCf4_WscyFxOIArCBFWZhMR4FqHKbEYUm-t3rsLegaPIQ5PR83lys4etO1-0izUyF1ItZjgsEM3d3KnpwgAinryj/s400/Hand-Knitted-Sweater-Chairs-by-Melanie-Porter_003.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 529px; height: 331px;" /></a><br /><br />Melanie's chairs are cozy and inviting one-of-a-kind functional art pieces.
