Another Bombing (the Yarn Kind)


Once again, I have assisted in the subversive act of yarn bombing.  The Knitters for Peace gang struck in the dead of night (around 9:30 pm) depositing knitted artwork along a local walking path.  There was a knitted banner as well as flowers, birds, and butterflies. 






The “yarn bombers” hoped that people would take the knitted pieces home, but the work stayed untouched for over a week.  Eventually it disappeared and I don’t know if it was removed by the police, a citizen, or a gang member.  I know that many people had the opportunity to enjoy the work, because I witnessed some bikers taking photos in front of it.


Have you ever left art somewhere for people to find?
