Concrete Playground

You’ve heard of sit-ins. But what exactly is a knit-in? It too requires a bottom, a healthy handful of creative thinking … oh, and some 4mm knitting needles. Tied into the not-for-profit initiative Wrap with Love, and running in various venues for the whole of July, the knit-ins hope to generate enough knitted squares, and then wraps, to thaw the tootsies of those suffering from extreme cold the world over.

So far, 184 000 wraps have been sent to over 75 countries. And yes, it’ll warm their hearts and yours a little too. Plus, if any waylaid naked hippies turn up, you’ll even have a modesty patch on hand.
