Knitting can be soo darn cool

Remember how your gran would sit in her rocking chair with a ball of yarn knitting you stuff you'd never wear? No? Good, me neither. Sorry Gogo, but yarn bombing (guerrilla crochet, knit graffiti, yarnstorming, or any combo of the former...)  is so freakin' awesome! 




The mother of the yarn bombing movement, Magda Sayeg, ambushed 99 trees with some shock and awe here in Texas (below), the birthplace of warm and cozy graffiti. How cute...



This world-brightening practice has gone global, and it manifests itself in a variety of styles, from subtle pops of color against the drab landscapes of the world...



...to full-fledged assaults on cars, buses, phone booths, you name it!







Who knew knitting could be such a fucking thrill?! Ahoy knitters, I salute you
