Urban knitting

The image of knitting has had an update since the uprising of urban knitting. Forget this:
And imagine this:


Yarn bombing or urban knitting is a kind of street art where anyone can start knitting on trees, statues or anything else there can be in the streets. In Dutch it's known as "wildbreien".
This trend first showed op in 2004 in the Netherlands and started to spread out to the USA and otherwhere in the world.

This art is also seen as a form of graffiti but in comparison with the traditional form, this art is easy to remove once authorities consider this as vandalism.

Zuid, Antwerpen

Do not remove please!
