Knitta, Please...
A recent wave of a new type of tagging has occurred recently in Houston and it's popping up in other cities too! Instead of tagging with paint, they use yarn! It's wholesome and quaint! Knitta, please...
I found a few sources for info on this phenomenon.

makes me think of the famed Women's Pentagon Action demo way back when (in 1980):
"Four huge female puppets created by Bread and Puppet Theatre led some 2,000 women in a march past Arlington Cemetery to the Pentagon. There they encircled the building, put gravestones in the lawn, wove yarn across the entrances to symbolically reweave the web of life, and created rituals of mourning and defiance by chanting, yelling, and banging on cans. Over 140 women were arrested for blocking the doors at two entrances. They also blocked the Mall entrance, but no arrests were made there. Most arrestees pled "no contest" and were immediately sentenced to 10 days for first offenders or 30 days—the maximum—for second offenders. Thirty-four of the second offenders who received longer sentences were shackled at the wrists, waist, and ankles and immediately sent 300 miles to a federal prison for women."

I wish I had a car or a knitted sweater (jumper for the Brits).

The hood ornament is not ours. Someone posted it on our myspace comments section, asking if it was ours. Sadly, we cannot take credit for that. Thanks!
Allio: wtf..........Now this is original \..~~../

As a knitter, your stuff really strikes a cord with me. Making functional garments is great, but you've taken the 'function' out of the pieces which is part of the shock. A stop sign doesn't need to be warm...as cheesy as it sounds, seeing how you warmed the streets warms my heart. I hope you keep sneaking around during your spare time!

The Knitta Crew got a national mention tonight on Saturday Night Live! Apparently they were in NYC tagging and creating havoc! LOL!
