Yarn Bombers

Improving the urban landscape one stitch at a time...

Yarnbombing

Grannies of the world are ditching Ovaltine and slippers to take part in a daring new art project: yarn bombing.

Going knitty ... new artform

The guerilla campaign involves women leaving knitted reminders on objects as varied as trees, lampposts and buses.

Started in America, the craze now has plenty of British fans - known as 'y-bombers' - who post pictures of their efforts on the internet.

Does FG have any YarnBombers?

Why don't crows spend all their time Knitting?

Because They're too busy crowchetting

A highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding car on the

freeway. Glancing at the car, he was astounded to see that the

woman behind the wheel was knitting! Realizing that she was

oblivious to his flashing lights and siren, the trooper cranked

down his window, turned on his bullhorn and

yelled, "PULLOVER! "NO," the woman yelled back,"IT'S A SCARF!" :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl
