KIP'ing (Knitting in Public) and its expression (sweaters on trees; flowers on poles; crocheted bikes etc.) is alive and well in Victoria BC.

We're planning a few projects over the next few months - so I'll definitely put you on our mailing list. Leanne Hi Kathryn,

Temporary graffiti, but fun. You could probably get Mike McCardell (sp?) from the news to come down and do a bit of a story. I can knit only scarves, but let me know if you want to to this and I'll help!
