I was browsing Flickr today and bumped into this interesting photo blog with pictures of some knitted pieces were placed on different public constructions like guide-post, hand-rails and etc. And eventually I found myself on the website of the group who call themselves Knitta.

From their about page:

Knitta began in August 2005, when the soon-to-be-Knittas were discussing their frustration over unfinished knitting projects: half-knitted sweaters and balls of yarn gathering dust. That afternoon, they knit their first door handle. Then it dawned on them… a tag crew of knitters, bombing the inner city with vibrant, stitched works of art, wrapped around everything from beer bottles on easy nights to public monuments and utility poles on more ambitious outings. With a mix of clandestine moves and gangsta rap — Knitta was born! Today, Knitta is a group of ladies of all ages, nationalities, and… gender.

I think this is a very creative and makes cities more beautiful and warm looking. I would definitely join them if I could knit. Maybe I should start learning to do that because I see very good way of promoting one’s blog for example in this activity. Just put a label with the link. And it’s less disturbing as stickers or graffiti.
