The Knitterati is a collective of eight Atlantans who enjoy knitting and crocheting as a productive excuse to hang out, catch up, and show support for the Beltline.
Close Knit is comprised of 22 objects with knitted and crocheted coverings that pay tribute to the historic 22-mile railroad corridor that circles downtown Atlanta and links the intown neighborhoods. The Knitterati’s theme is “wheels and being on the go.” Covered objects include: bicycles, a vaccum cleaner and a pram. The installations are functional without being disruptive, fitting into the existing urban/environmental landscape and bringing a stronger aesthetic appeal to the site.
