There was Balmain's very own act of guerrilla knitting on a pole - outside the Balmain Police Station. I love it!!!
Other public places in Sydney that have been wrapped in yarn are the old toilet block in Taylor square, and in Newtown and Rozelle by graffiti artist Denise Litchfield.
It is believed that guerrilla knitters have operated in Britain, Scandinavia, the US, Japan and South Africa. It has been suggested that Litchfield might be Sydney's first.

It's a very busy time of the year for us all, but if you do find yourself with time on your hands, and yarn in the cupboard maybe you can join in?

I LOVE guerilla knitting, crafting at it's best. If only I could knit!! Maybe guerilla quilting is the next fad around the corner....
