Take back the knit | San Francisco Bay Guardian
I love taking something that reminds many (possibly most) people of something only their grandma would do, and turning it into something more subversive. I've heard of Knitta Please and other groups that knit colorful crazy things in secret and then sneak out at night to display them on something very public like a street sign or public sculpture. I'll just have to make sure my route takes me down Divis sometime soon so I can catch this latest display of artistic talent.
It reminded me of a video I saw around Christmas time of the artist Olek who crocheted a whole bunch of granny squares together to make an entire cover for the Wall Street bull.
