guerilla knitting
Textile Totems by the Jafagirls
I think this has to be my favourite pole we've done so far. I like this shot because you can see the other poles and get an idea of the location. And guess what, nobody can complain we are killing a tree (we had several people who were convinced putting knitting on the tree would kill it). It's a strange fad isn't it, but it's fun, it's creative, and it seems to give people a real chuckle.
Flickr has a Urban Knitting Group with photos of knit graffiti around the world. I liked the Knitting Hooligans (what a great name) wristband they put on a Chinese Lion. and how about those red mittens on Lenin :)

I totally dig the pole...and get a kick that stupid people think that the yarn will kill the pole---the pole died long time ago when they chopped the tree!! Duuhh!
Peace & Love.
I wish someone did that around here.
The teacup idea sounds fabulous, that would be so funny. I imagine it requires either a pattern or major knitting skills and I don't have the ability for either.
Yep. people seem to complain about all sorts, the knitting will hurt the tree, it is strange and you shouldn't do it. For the most part though people in town are being good sports about it and people are constantly coming up to Nancy and I and telling us how they like them.
