Art: The Art of Yarn Bombing & Crochet Graffiti

I have tried knitting but cannot grasp it for the life of me:-)  I think its the coolest thing and most people say it is so relaxing, oh well… Living in New York I have been seeing a lot of  these cool displays and thinking how the heck did they do that!  These artists are so talented using yarn as a form of graffiti known as yarn bombing in the art world or dubbed as  graffiti's feminine side.
Yarn bombing or guerrilla knitting is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fibre rather than paint or chalk.  Basically creating graffiti with yarn.  Check out a few incredible displays around the world.
