Have you seen this?
*
People have been covering public objects with yarn.
*
One lady in California, who remains nameless spends 12 hours a day spinning and knitting these in East Bay area.
*
According to Wikepedia, it started in Texas as a use for leftover yarn.

I’d love to join in, except I have orders for 6 blankets to do first, so I’m not committing. XD

It looks like a fun way to add color and whimsy. 🙂 Certainly less toxic than some paints out there.

Yes. I keep looking at a tree in my front yard but no, I’m over committed on the yarn work already. XD

Yes and I can’t believe how pretty just using leftover yarn came out.

Oh cool! I’ve never actually heard or seen this before but I think it’s an interesting concept 🙂 I wish I could try it too 🙂

Me too. And I hope someone else did it. I find myself eyeing places as I drive along.
