Yarn Bombing

                                                                            
So it turns out next Saturday is International Yarn Bombing Day; was my friend Vivian on to this when she bombed her house?



There are alot of people out there doing fun and creative yarnbombing and, of course, there is a Ravelry group for this as well.   Here are some pictures I came across:

    

    

Streetcolor decorated this pole outside of The Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco:

                                                                                  

A subway seat in Philadelphia:

                                                                            


The Raging Bull on Wall Street was covered in crochet by an artist named Olek.  This picture is from an article in the New York Times about yarn bombing:

                                                                                

There's also a book  on yarnbombing by Mandy Moore and Leanne Prain  for anyone interested:
