Have you heard of yarn bombing?
It is the new 'urban art', an 'acceptable' form of graffiti. (But still illegal?)
Said to have originated in the Netherlands in 2004, yarn bombing, guerrilla knitting, yarn storming, or urban knitting, has since spread internationally.
I found this colourfully decorated tree across the street from my office in Surry Hills, Sydney.
Yarn bombing does not only involve trees but any structure that it's possible to wrap in knitted, crocheted, or wrapped yarn.
yes it's taking place here in England where I've heard it called guerilla knitting. SOme ladies covered a whole pier walkway, it looked fab! what a splash of colour.
ReplyDeleteKath I think a whole bus has also been covered in knitting!
DeleteI've heard of it but never seen it done around here.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's coming to a tree near you TT!
