Yarn Bombing as defined by urban dictionary: "a type of graffiti street art that employs colorful displays of knitted or crocheted cloth, rather than paint or chalk." Since a picture captures it so much better than words, I present the yarn bombing currently on display at the Lawrence Public library.
You can't help but smile when you see this. Trees with sweaters. Plus knitted leaves, birds, cherries, pom-poms, and hearts. This display will be up through the month of February. Just one more reason to make a pilgrimage to our fair city.
Love it!

Fun to see your city's yarn bombing. We've had some in LA. The facade of a Folk Art Museum was covered. But I actually went to a yarn bomb exhibit at a small gallery here a couple years ago. A yarn bombing person made a request on her website for people to send in knitted pieces that were nature related. She received pieces from all over the U.S. and a few other countries. She created an entire forest that completely filled a room. It was very amazing.

I love it! I've seen examples of this in Seattle and Portland, and even a few here in Austin. It's always good for a chuckle.

Ha! A couple of yarn bomb projects have been installed near my neighborhood within the last couple of years. I get a kick out of them. :)
