Knitting the Street Signs of Newtown #1

#1 Project Complete!









My two fave things, crafting and planes!

So this is my first Guerrilla Knitting Project, and I chose the Wilford Lane street sign cause I walk past here a LOT and so do some of my friends! I was going to sew it together yesterday but it rained for most of the day, I couldn't bare it getting soggy on its first day in the world!

So this morning I sewed it together with the help of Husbie, who got some great shots for me too!

  1. It looks fantastic. I'm sad I missed it though. I was in Newtown this weekend, basically eating my way around Sydney and it's burroughs. Would have loved to have stroked your lovely knitted street sign.
