guerilla knitting

also, if you havent caught on to the newest form of 'street art' say hello to guerilla knitting. I was introduced into this new street art by my friend, Lanie about a year ago. Actually, guerilla knitting has been going around for a couple of years now, with different 'knitting crews' or individuals who have caught on to this knitting bug and shared and left with the world a piece of their art.

check out these different sites where you can check out more photos on the knitting scene.




anyone want to start a knitting crew in el paso?

Quite bad-ass indeed. If we say so for ourselves.

Thanks so much for the mention! And for adding masquerade! They've been the nicest to us (linking us, commenting, etc.).

And dude(tte), don't worry about not knowing how. mfm mainly crochets but we've been thinking about just winding yarn around things AND/OR fabric! We think fabric would be particularly awesome.

And if you don't want to form your own crew, mfm WILL accept non-Chicago members. Think of it as a franchise or outlet or something less-degrading.

Anyways, thank!
