As seen in "The New York Times" and "The New Yorker"
On city street corners, around telephone posts, through barbed
wire fences, and over abandoned cars, a quiet revolution is
brewing. "Knit graffiti" is an international guerrilla movement
that started underground and is now embraced by crochet and
knitting artists of all ages, nationalities, and genders. Its
practitioners create stunning works of art out of yarn, then
"donate" them to public spaces as part of a covert plan for world
yarn domination.
"Yarn Bombing: The Art of Crochet and Knit Graffiti" is the
definitive guidebook to covert textile street art. This full-color
DIY book features twenty kick-ass patterns that range from hanging
shoes and knitted picture frames to balaclavas and gauntlets,
teaching readers how to create fuzzy adornments for lonely street
furniture. Along the way, it provides tips on how to be as stealthy
as a ninja, demonstrates how to orchestrate a large-scale textile
project, and offers revealing information necessary to design your
own yarn graffiti tags. The book also includes interviews with
members of the international community of textile artists and yarn
bombers, and provides resources to help readers join the movement;
it's also chock full of beautiful photographs and easy step-by-step
instructions for knit and crochet installations and garments.
