Guerrilla knitters

I am obviously too stuck in the old politics to understand fully how knitting can be a form of activism. Thanks to near near future, however, I have learnt about Guerrilla knitters.

"By knitting you are resisting capitalism and consumerism. You are not responding to the fashion industry; you are making your own decisions."

Knitting in public seems "almost as transgressive as breastfeeding in public 20 years ago."



Members of Cast Off hold a mass knit on the London underground.
