Yarn Bombing and Fiber Art

While looking up the art category of Street art, I came across the words "Yarn Bombing."  Curiosity took over and I found images of "Yarn Bombing" in cities throughout the world.  According to Wikipedia, "Yarn bombing, yarnbombing, yarn storming, guerrilla knitting, Kniffiti, urban knitting or graffiti knitting is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colourful displays of  knitted or crocheted yarn or fibre rather than paint or chalk."  Apparently it started in Texas with a man named Bill Davenport, who tried to find creative ways to use his leftover yarn.  Now the movement is trying to reclaim and personalize outdoor public spaces.  This is a fascinating and colorful way to do fiber art.  Enjoy!
