Which is your favourite?
This is one of my favourites for two reasons, the very cool graffiti and his ability to blend in with it.l
Just Fantastic.
Just a wee note for the commentator on this site who said
" wished they knitted blankets for the kids in ophanages/freezing places..instead."
Just want to let you know that knitted blankets are not practical or as cost effective as getting more useful items such as, thermal type or space blankets, and sleeping bags. the priority needs for the shelters and charities are money, sleeping bags and blankets for the winter months, food, toiletries, clothing and gently worn shoes (insulated boots would be nice). Hand knitted items are not a priority need.
The knitted pieces we use for yarnbombing are left over yarn skeins, or recycled yarn, but maybe there shouldn't be the presumption that yarnbombers don't also donate knitting for specific causes and requests. Generally though my donations are more in keeping with priority needs for charities that serve the homeless.
