Knitta
Tea  cozies aren't just for Grandma anymore. Knitting has transcended the stereotype of expectant moms and grannies—now the young and hip have enlisted. Just over a year ago in Montrose, Texas, Knitta began as a way to find a home for wayward and unfinished projects. Today, a crew of guerilla knitters regularly hits the streets, dedicated to "warming the world, one car antenna at a time." They wrap trees, ketchup bottles, street poles, park benches, stair rails, and jump ropes with soft, brightly colored woolens. And that's just in New York City. They've also taken their knit graffiti to Washington, California, Arizona, Maryland, and Paris. Even the Great Wall of China has been "tagged" with the Seuss-inspired "knitta bombs." The revolution will not be chilly. (in Arts & Crafts) |
