Through a friend of mine, who had just returned from a trip to New York in April, I learned about knit graffiti. After seeing her photos (some of them are on my other blog BeuteBayern), I got really inspired to try my hands at this. Just knitting something I would have found too boring, but putting it up secretly caught my full attention.

I had not held knitting needles in my hands for the past 10 years, but I was able to locate some old yarn and found my box of needles again as well.

This evening, I went out and attached my first piece of knit graffiti. Knitting it was fun, but attaching it to the lamp post was even more fun. We have so many dog walkers in our neighborhood and I had to crochet the piece together very quickly as not to draw so much attention. Felt a bit like committing a crime, but it is legal (supposedly).

I wonder how long it will stay up before one of the neighbors will cut it down.

This was so much fun!
