I was driving to work a few months ago and I stopped at a stop light right by my house. I had just got my coffee at my 7-11 (you know, the one that I go to every morning that reminds me of "Cheers"). Immediately to my right at the bus stop was a startling scene: a post which was covered in yarn. It almost appeared as though it was a leg warmer, but on a pole. I thought that the homeless looking lady that typically hangs around that bus stop had done it.
Flash forward a few months, and I see a post on my neighborhood facebook page. Apparently, I'm not the only one that noticed the work. Further, research revealed that this leg warmer is a trend from Canada. "Yarn Bombing" is considered knit graffiti. I'm serious.
To be fair, I was confused at first, but then I realized, anyone that tries to bring a bit more color and beauty to this work we live in should be appreciated. Thank you Yarn Bombers!
