Knitters of the world, unite and take over (the toilet)
Walking through Taylor Square on Sunday afternoon, we noticed this.
Denise Litchfield, of Newtown, had descended on the old below-ground toilet the night before with a cast of “lavatory assistants, urban knitters and crocheters.”
It’s Sydney’s last surviving underground toilet (not including those in train stations) – it’s a convenience that’s not that convenient, because it’s not open – though it gets a last gasp every now and again via an art project like this.
Denise, who also blogs here, knitted this as part of Sydney Design 09.
hey guys,
thanks for the shout out.. noticed the large knitted plug was plundered first night…cant wait to see where that ends up.

There’s a knitting/crocheting thing happening every saturday (10-4pm) at Fitzroy Gardens in Kings Cross. They’re going to knit around trees, telegraph poles and other landmarks for an installation called I Heart Kings Cross as part of Art & About in Oct.
