Have you knoticed….knits are everywhere! These days when you think about knits, it’s not just a about a cozy sweater that will keep you warm throughout the winter. Knits are showing up all over the place, especially in home decor. And why not, wool is a sustainable material, it can be naturally dyed any rich, beautiful color and it can add an interesting and unexpected texture to your home’s canvas.
This fall, at 100% Design London, we saw the Knit Revolution in full force. There were knitted sofas, knitted ottomans, knitted lamp shades – and since then, I’ve seen knitted bike racks, knitted coffee cozies- even a knitted bus! Some of the things I’ve seen covered in colorfully knitted wool have been pretty outrageous, but look how beautiful and unique some interior pieces can be.
A knitted bus??!!!! Do tell!!!
Erin- Totally not fair for me to mention the knitted bus without a visual, so here you go!

That is unbelievable! Thanks so much for sharing. I would love it if some of this “graffiti” turned up in my neighborhood!
Grab your knitting needles and go to it!
