Like it when the flowers are feeling warm and cozy as well…

Cool – knitting graffiti

Cool knitting graffiti spotted in Amsterdam.

All the good things knitting graffiti supports:

* Ensuring towns are soft, warm and fun places to be in

* It is reusable

* It takes control of the aesthetes without being intrusive

* Not expensive to remove (council can use the money on libraries…instead of removing painted tags)

* Of the moment (rain a couple of days and…)

I can only recommend reading “Yarn Bombing” by Mandy Moore and Leanne Prain or watching this youtube video on the topic…

Amsterdam is fantastic. The knitting shop De Afstap is always nice (www.afstap.nl). The shop is central and if you are in town it is a nice place to visit.

But what is of special interest are the knitted garments locals are wearing…. This sweater is knitted by Harry’s mother, but the design is Harry’s…
