THE KNITTED CONVENIENCE

We’re in the middle of the biggest resurgence in knitting since the 1970s. In Denmark they knitted a tank, in Mexico they knitted a bus and in Sydney guerrilla knitter Denise Litchfield has organised that Taylor Square’s historic public amenities be covered in knitted pieces. After the event the installation will be unstitched, washed and made into blankets for local Sydney charities.
