Kings Cross is an ever-changing Sydney icon. It’s a tourist hotspot, and home to a diverse and interesting community, with a colourful history of stories knitted together by local streetscapes, events and characters.

Local residents and artists have been busy celebrating all facets of this iconic precinct and eclectic community with knitting graffiti, in an exciting project developed by Michelle McCosker and Alasdair Nicol from artist collective Reef Knot. Participants in weekly workshops have captured their Kings Cross in colour and stitch, with knitting as vibrant and diverse as the Cross itself. This fabric has been joined together to cover trees and poles, giving residents and visitors a surprising insight into one of Sydney’s most colourful precincts.

Want to get involved? Knitting circles are held every Saturday until 26th September, 10am-4pm in Fitzroy Gardens, Macleay Street Kings Cross. Visit the website for more information.

Join local knitters, and artists Michelle McCosker and Alasdair Nicol from artist collective Reef Knot, in celebrating the launch of this public art project. Cope Street Parade will also be performing to help launch the project.
