Graffiti Knitting at Nundle

It started at nine this morning with my four-year-old son and I struggling as we stretched to wrap swatches of knitting and crochet around the liquidamber tree in Captain Cook Park and ended with children, mothers and friends working with wool needles, knitting needles and crochet hooks to bring our graffiti knitting project to life. The result is just beautiful with contributions of knitting from many women in the community and friends of Nundle. My one-year-old son learnt to say pom pom as we looped donated pom poms onto twisted yarn, alternated with crocheted flowers and a sweet crochet basket that we dubbed the fairy swing. Friends bought along abandoned knitting projects, swatches knitted especially for the graffiti tree and first time samples by absolute beginners. Thank you everyone for having a sense of adventure and bringing colour to our park in winter. M
