I have never seen knitted street art up close. It is so cool. It makes me wonder how they get it on there. They must have to sew up a seam by hand. Anyway, it is great. You know how much I like your city. LOTS.

I’m wondering the same thing. My guess is velco that’s stuff it good for just about anything. Almost as good as duct tape which would be another option.
unknownmami says
No, if you visit the post I linked to, they mention sewing them on.
lisleman says
thanks for clearing that up. I sure hope they are careful. Maybe they should wear reflective safety gear while sewing. It would be awful to be hit by a car while sewing. Oh you should design a sewing ahead warning sign for them.

I love knit graffiti we have loads of it here. Looks a bit blustery and cool over your way

I love this, you’d never see anything like this where I live. Too fun. Graffiti street art sure, guerrilla knitting… not so much.

I hope no one minds that I chose my parent’s home town to write about. I just spent one week there for Thanksgiving…the last in their house because they’re moving!

It is almost like the person is walking the wrong way in the first shot! Great capture. I’ve been down an arm so not alot of shooting and not hooking up with SIMC lately. Hopefully by Jan I can.

People in San Fran are pretty wealthy if they can afford to keep the street signs warm. Around here, we have problems keeping the KIDS warm, much less street signs, wow!
