Knitting is in the news again, as Mark Thomas joins the guerrilla knitters.
In an article for The Observer, activist and comedian Mark Thomas describes a late-night guerrilla knitting mission to cover a well-known Docklands artwork with yarn.
Guerilla knitting is an unsual activity for a non-knitter to find themselves a part of, and it's clear that Mark is approaching it from a different angle. There's plenty about the still of the very small hours, but nothing about the creation of the knitted panels – all the actual knitting has happened off stage.
Nonetheless, it's great to have his perspective on the subject, and we're confident that Londoners will have looked at The Curlicue in a new light as a result.
Mark was working with Perri Lewis who is part of a team of guerrilla knitters. You can find out more about their escapades at Knit The City.
