Knitta

"Knitta began in August 2005, when the soon-to-be-Knittas were discussing their frustration over unfinished knitting projects: half-knitted sweaters and balls of yarn gathering dust. That afternoon, they knit their first door handle."

Knit their first door handle!

Which led them, inexorably, to becoming: "… a tag crew of knitters, bombing the inner city with vibrant, stitched works of art, wrapped around everything from beer bottles on easy nights to public monuments and utility poles on more ambitious outings."

Alex of Neatorama adds the perfect label to this wonderfully playful, bizarre, and somehow socially significant act of rebellious knittage. He calls it "knit grafitti." He also notes that a group calling itself Masquerade posted a map showing how they are similarly engaged in knitting their nuances into the streets of Stockholm.

What a wonderful world playground this world can be!
