    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.

        No, if you visit the post I linked to, they mention sewing them on.

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

    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!
