I Knit Brisbane – they’ve created some cosy and creative woollies for Brisbane landmarks.
I Knit Brisbane is a large community knitting and crochet project which is intertwining and colouring the city.
In Brisbane’s CBD and Stones Corner, installations of large and small soft sculpture (knitted, crocheted or woven public art) will mark the first day of winter – Tuesday June 1 – and will remain in place for up to one month, warming up your winter days.
Each green heart marker signifies an installation area. Keep your eyes peeled, something wonderful might be right in front of you. Look up for hidden things like spiderwebs and birds. As you walk around the city, look for small tokens (mushrooms, strawberries and green hearts) to mark your way.
Over 800 crafters from all over Brisbane and beyond have been involved in I Knit Brisbane. Young people, school students, artists, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups, multicultural communities, seniors groups and many of Brisbane’s knitting/crochet associations have contributed to the project.
A big thank you to all the beginners, re-discoverers, whimsicals and masters of craft that have helped make this fantastic project happen.
I Knit Brisbane is supported by Brisbane City Council through the Lord Mayor’s Creative City Initiative.
