Wow – I’ve just looked at the work that has been created by contributors to
Grrl+Dog’s Global Guerilla Knit Up. The work is amazing! Over the past few months I’ve been asked a few times how I think knit and crochet graffiti will evolve, and if it will stick around. I think what has happened today is a testament to the fact that yarn bombing is only limited by the imagination. And, as we all know – crocheters and knitters really have no limits when it comes to imagination.
Here are a few of my favourite pieces:
The CrabApple Cacti
and Leslie, who has an amazing story told by images and a few words. She says: And yes, the first thing I knitted after 25 years of knitting nothing was a sweater for a tree.
Eek!

I think this is so great. Does anyone know if the tougue knitted for the big head in Canmore , Alberta was part of guerilla knitting? If I can find a photo I will send on as they say pictures are on youtube under big head. I think I now have a use for all that old wool and will keep my eyes open for some place to guirilla knit.
Hi Mary-Beth,
I haven’t seen the tongue knitted for the head in Canmore – but I’d be really curious to see it. If you come across a link – please send it.
