I Heart Knitting Graffiti
June 6th, 2007 . by Jilly
I think this is so awesome. Apparently there has been a recent trend of knitters getting together and knitting things around public property. There’s a group called Masquerade (who are out of Stockholm, Sweden) and another one called Knitta, Please (from Houston, TX).
What Knitta does, in their own words…
A tag crew of knitters, bombing the inner city with vibrant, stitched works of art, wrapped around everything from beer bottles on easy nights to public monuments and utility poles on more ambitious outings.
First, I’m going to learn how to knit. Then, we need to start a San Diego chapter of Knitta. Who’s with me?

there is, or rather was a large group or single enthusiast based in seattle. there are lines of mono rail pillar supports down 3rd through the heart of downtown seattle and a line of maybe 5 or so 5×5x15 ft pillars were hit. pretty amazing in person.
