BAW Baw’s own guerrilla knitting group, the Bbaandit Yarners, have taken aim at the West Gippsland Arts Centre to celebrate this year’s Gardivalia festival.
A small troupe of knitters covered the large rocks outside the main entrance of the venue with wool, added woollen flowers to the lawn and jumpered a light pole.A spokesperson for the group told The Warragul Citizen they started working on the project two months ago.
