Beware the friend who suddenly takes up crochet. She (or he) may be a yarn bomber.
Working under code names such as Incogknito and the Microfiber Militia, a global network of “craftivists” is stitching makeshift sweaters, oversized tea cozies and giant pompoms around public property. Street poles, trees, bike racks, bridges – nothing is safe in target cities such as London, Paris, Chicago and Stockholm.
The craftivists’ manifesto, according to Vancouver knitters Mandy Moore and Leanne Prain, is “world yarn domination.”
