knit one, purl the other
Saturday 14th of June 2008 is Worldwide Knit In Public Day. As we all know knitting is not a crime, but very much an activity people mostly do on their own.
In Wellington why not fully embrace the outdoors and head along to the Bucket Fountain in Cuba Mall where the lovely Tash will be from 2pm with her needles (or at the Southern Cross if it's raining).
Yay for knitting in public!
And speaking of knitting in public, how much are we all loving, loving, loving the urban knitting that is appearing around town. Finally Wellington is experiencing a fashion renaissance of the woolen variety. Every day I keep hearing and seeing reports of subversive knittyness around the city, and honestly I don't think Wellington has ever looked more beautiful.
Sadly someone disagrees as nothing seems to stay up for too long.
Which makes me wonder, if you could see subversive knitting anywhere, where would it be?
That guy leaning over the waterfront looks like he would be warmer with a cardie.
I also dream of an enormous crochet Beehive-cosy. Maybe that guy who's always wrapping shit in plastic could be convinced to spearhead the effort.

Oh man, at the risk of enraging Che Tibby: you are SO right.

I initially thought you meant some kinda responsible dog-owner, but you mean Christo, right?
Talking of knitting....

Once a month they have a knitting circle. How cute.
Bah humbug, all of you. At least we are doing something we enjoy and don't go around dissing everyone else.
I think phrases such as "loving, loving, loving the urban knitting that is appearing around town" might hint that we're not dissin' nuttin'!
hmm i think maybe some spam leaking through or something
anyway i do like that idea of the metal man having at least a nice warm scarf for winter
or maybe a matching beanie?
Maybe it's a response to that Guardian article someone linked to? It has lines like "The knitting craze is the death of both alternative culture and feminism. But it's even worse that that. Scratch a knitter - discover a Knit Nazi. Like the Nazis, alternative knitters have no sense of humour."
good lord they must have found an unfriendly bunch of knitters
the Craft2.0 posse like nothing more than a good laugh
All I have to say is that this article sums it up nicely
