IT WAS an act of “craftivism”.
Three months work of stitching, looping, and knitting.
On Thursday the Tecoma Picket Knitters unveiled their 16 metre scarf which will be used as a banner to make their feelings known.
Inspired by the Knitting Nanas of Toolangi who knitted a scarf 150 metres long (to illustrate the court ordered exclusion zone of 150 metres), the Tecoma result was a “banner” of more than 180,000 stitches and more than 16 metres in length.
Put together “on the line” over the last three months, more than 20 Picket Knitters said the scarf was a way to show McDonald’s and the greater community that they are not going away and would continue to oppose the development.
