Last year PSFK wrote about Knitta Please – the worldwide guerrilla knitting collective who wrap and detail urban-based objects in bright yarns. Sydney-based suburb of Darlinghurst recently received some of their own knitted magic from the hands of Newtown knitter Denise Litchfield. Wrapping Sydney’s oldest functional underground “heritage toilet” in Taylor Square, Litchfield started planning the project back in May 2009. Read more about it at The Knitted Convenience.

My high school crafts club always tried to persuade students to get into the knitting scene. Some went on to crochet klennex boxes and knit multi-colored beanies but I never really got into the grove of knitting. If only they encouraged us to do some guerrilla knitting! Loved how Litchfield chose outrageous orange and yellow yarn on top of choosing to cover a toilet. This reminds me of the Guerrilla Gardening concept that has been popping up around a few urban areas in the States. Do you know long did it took to finish that??
