We just missed International Yarn Bombing Day. It was on June 11th. Darn!!!
Also called guerrilla knitting, yarnstorming and graffitti knitting, it's quite an eye-catching art form.
Yarn artists knit or crochet covers for almost anything in public places. The Wall Street bull statue has been covered. Buses, trees, bike racks, park benches, parking meters, and lamp posts have all been transformed in colorful displays of yarn art. I found pictures of lacework on a chain link fence, leg warmers on a statue in Paris, and stone angels wearing pink and green crocheted dresses.
If you go to Google images and put "Yarn bombing" in the search bar, you will find a spectacle of worldwide guerrilla knitting.
This is just for fun, but if you want to mark your calendar for next year, I'll keep an eye out for your work.
Happy crafting,
Kathi
