Urban knitting is a special kind of street art (along with graffiti and street paintings) aimed at decorating streets and public places by knitting. It is believed that this art originated in Texas, the USA, and then started to spread around the world.

One of the representatives of this art is Sul filo Dell'arte (At the edge of art). It is an association founded by a group of women from Monza, an Italian city, united by interest in knitting and crocheting and desire to share the skill of working with yarn with all generations.

The group's aim is to add colors to gray and habitual space, which positively affects consciousness of others:

"We like to paint the city or emphasize some event that takes place in the vicinity. Urban knitting is not ugly and is temporary. The goal of it is to make passers-by smile and change something in their daily lives."

Sul filo Dell'arte is a united group, but it is open to anyone who wants to get closer and share their ideas, and this group is always in search for new collaborations with other associations, primary schools, colleges, nursing homes, day hospitals.

One of the most significant works by Sul filo Dell'arte is knitted "Guernica" by Pablo Picasso. This is an anti-war work, the theme of which is the bombing of Guernica, which happened shortly before the horror of Spanish revolution in April and Civil War in Spain (1931-1939).

The painting looks like that:

This is its knitted interpretation:
