Corban Estate bombed by Knitted Graffiti
World Wide Knit in Public Day, on June 12, was celebrated at Corban Estate Arts Centre with the Public Outing of CEAC's Knitted Graffiti group that has been planning and plotting (in a softly subversive way) for a few months.
Much knitting and crocheting, and fortnightly appearances of knitted graffiti (just to check the fit) have kept us amused, intrigued and excited. So do come and see what we've been up to.
Thanks so much to Judy, Kara, Sandra, Lyn, Maureen, Chris, Karen, Maxine, Glen, Marlynne, Tom as we have knitted and crocheted our graffiti since February. And thanks to Martin and CEAC staff for encouragement....and trust that we wouldn't be 'inappropriate'!!
We don't intend stopping now, and have a new project in mind. So, if anyone out there would like to join us, in our respectful disrespectful use of 'soft' graffiti in public spaces, please turn up to the CEAC Meeting Room on alternate Fridays (starting June 18) 9.30am-12.30pm.

People who know me, know I am somewhat obsessed my textiles and knitting is one of my great passions.
You can image my pleasure on Monday at finding knitting all over our office site after Worldwide Knit in Public Day. Thanks to the Knitting Grafitti Group and wish I had time to come knit with you.
So come and check out the knitting it will be up for another couple of weeks and if you have time drop into the office and say 'hi' - Wednesdays and Fridays are good.
