a call for knitters!

Stitching up the NGA

Stitching up the NGA

From Tuesday 7 to Sunday 12 July, Magda Sayeg founder of Knitta Please and artist Denise Litchfield, are transforming the entrance and foyer of the the National Gallery of Australia. If you’ve never looked into Knitta Please you really should, guerrilla knitting looks like a lot of fun.

Knitters are invited to help create pieces that measure 10–20 cm wide and 140 cm long, which will be stitched together to create coverings for 6 large concrete poles at the front of the National Gallery of Australia. Any colour, yarn and technique is accepted—the brighter and wackier, the better!

Even though I can’t get to Canberra to see the fun in person, I cannot wait to send in my swatch! Check the NGA event highlights for more details.
