The urban knitting trend slowly comes to Germany. Knitting as a new form of street art, covers up trees, benches, lanterns, traffic lights or telephone booths in knitting. According to Wikipedia the first knitting group was called “Knitta Please” founded in Texas in 2005 (www.knittaplease.com). I saw this trend already in Antwerp; I think there it was a real guerilla action without permission. I thought it is super, when I saw the first urban knitting pieces in Wiesbaden, but in Germany nothing happens without permission. No cloak-and-dagger operation to make the city prettier. No, in Wiesbaden you meet up, have a coffee at Perfect Day, knit and talk about it. Also a nice thing. For one year now, Wiesbaden is “Social Business City”, that’s the motive for this action. With “Social Business City” social end economical problems should be solved entrepreneurial, a good cause. ho wants to see the pieces live, should visit Wiesbaden’s Langgasse and Kirchgasse until November 22nd.

 

And here is a video of the action:
