Identify me.

Kim from Round Rock, Texas has sent me this photo:

mysterypole

We’ve been trying to identify the mystery knitter. Since it is in Texas and the colours are candy coloured and bright, I’m inclined to think that it is the work of Magda Sayeg, but I could stand corrected.

Anyone out there recognize the artist’s style?

    I am wondeing whether the authors of Yarn Bombing might be on a book tour in the US this coming fall. If so, I’d love to arrange a public lecture, slide show, event with the authors sponsored by our Cultural Studies Program at Columbia College Chicago. As part of our program, we are sponsoring a Cfrativism project this academic year. We’d love to have a lecture/event with the authors.

    Please feel free to contact me.

    Hi Ann,

    I believe that you’ve chatted with Janice at Arsenal Pulp Press already. She should have some recommendations on how we could be involved.

    Thanks!

    I’d rather see the post. I carry scissors in my handbag, so that I can cut off all the eyesores as I walk around the city. I guess that is my right, just as you think yours is to force your idea of beauty on the whole world.
    We are forming our own army…. to reclaim the world as we like it.
    Guerilla artists versus the scissor saviors.
    Go, go snippers. Reclaim!!

    Hi Sam,

    Yes, it is your right to feel that way. I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.

    Yarn bombing is not only about visual beauty or territory, it is about being active participants in the places where we live. Betsy Greer has written a wonderful post that I would encourage you to read: http://craftivism.com/blog.html/2009/03/yarn-bombing-craftivism-knittivismits-all-just-about-making-life-prettier/

    Yours is the very first negative comment that we’ve received here on the yarn bombing site, and I applaud you for being respectful to the community here by stating your opinion and understanding that we have a different viewpoint. I encourage you to go start your own community for snippers – we generally only have yarn bombers here. :)
