YARN BOMBING, KNITTING & CROCHET ON THE STREET.
PUSHING BOUNDARIES.

Annette can pinpoint the moment her creative knitting adventure really began: she bought, modified and knitted a jumper kit by Jenny Kee commissioned by the Australian Wool Corporation.

Since being introduced to yarn bombing in 2010 her knitting has taken Annette:

• To New York, accompanied by three lace adorned pigs… as artists in residence at a knitting expo,
• To the Italian town of Trivento, Italy, where she installed a mob of lace covered kangaroos as part of the town’s International Yarn Bombing Day
• To Cologne, contributing a raft of Fairy Penguins to the “Flown In From Australia”, on display at Cologne’s International Yarn Bombing expo 2023
• Back to Melbourne, with the GLAD Rappers leading the community yarnbombing of a clock tower in the south eastern suburbs of Bayside

And have I mentioned her double-knitting? Simply superb.

Annette showcases her eclectic creations on social media under the name Nini & Wink exhibiting her designs with local galleries and councils.
