Urban knitting, graffiti knitting, yarn storming, yarn bombing- it's a growing fad. Knitters across the country are knitting graffiti on trees, park benches, light poles and practically anything else you can think of. In Baltimore, it has become especially popular. The picture to the right (courtesy the Baltimore Sun), was taken in Hampden just this past weekend and highlights the budding prevalence of the new urban art form.
What a great way to express your creativity and liven up your front yard. And with the colder months drawing closer, I'm sure the trees will thank you too. However, I will say that if you don't already know how to knit, you may want to practice with a smaller object until you get the hang of it. If you already know how to knit, you'll be churning out sweaters for your trees in no time.
