Paddy Killer


'Fits Like a Glove' by Paddy Killer. Paddy has arthritis everywhere - gloves do not fit her stiff and deformed hands, so she has drafted this pattern for imagined gloves, enabling someone to make some pairs for her.


I remember visiting Surgeons Hall for the first time, in Edinburgh, just as my body began to show the first contortions of Arthritis, and being amazed at how bones swell, and bend and twist with this disease, not something you really think about until you are dealing with it and the lack of conformity in feet and hands that make shoes and gloves an impossibility. So of course I love this project by Paddy Killer.
