We can wax rhapsodic about Sarah Stollak's crocheted jewelry: beautiful baubles of stones, beads, and string. We can go on about her violin and fiddle playing with such diverse groups as the Lonesome Heroes and Quartet-a-Tete String Quartet. But it's the life-size knitted guitars that seal the deal. Stollack doesn't knit cozies for guitars; she makes guitars out of whole cloth (yarn) with an astounding level of detail and witty cultural reference. There's the award-winning custom Fender, detailed down to the logo; Jimmy Page's double-neck SG; Jimi Hendrix's Strat, on fire and strung left-handed. Zing, zing, zing go our heartstrings.
