In 2004 a new form of graffiti appeared - yarn bombing! This is the use of knitted or crocheted materials to brighten up the sterile urban landscape. Recently, the region of Rosslyn was the recipient of such a yarn bombing in order to promote the Artisphere, a small museum and performing arts gallery.
The pieces ranged from simple tree coverings ...
... to more elaborate murals, ...
... and larger stuffed items.
My only disappointment is that I didn't know of it in time to participate myself!
