Guerilla Knitting

I had heard about the wonderful movement known as guerilla knitting, where artists stitch up their graffiti rather than spray it, and had seen evidence of it in Newtown (possibly the work of this crafty lass). I think it is such a clever, tongue-in-cheek, nondestructive, playful way to spruce up a town. So I was stoked to stumble across some guerilla knitting on some bikes racks during my recent visit to Hobart. Check it out! Someone even went to the trouble of doing a pretty knit-and-purl check stitch on one of them.


Rock.
