Knitting takes on a whole new meaning as it engages with and defines our public spaces.
 

Knit Graffiti
A positive decoration of space, Knit Graffiti will transform commonplace objects into colourful pieces of art. Young and old have joined forces to become Launceston's Knit Militia, and alter otherwise mundane objects to challenge our perception of a very traditional art form. Find the knitting and you will be on the Streets Alive Arts Trail.

Cosy Columns: Spectacular, colourful and tactile, 'Cosy Columns' unites two unlikely allies; architecture and knitting. Both traditions of the Colonial era that Australia was founded on; artist Ralf Haertel uses the medium of knitting in response to the architecture that surrounds us. The Town Hall, a pivotal part of our community will enjoy a brief transformation from serious to soft.
