Yarn bombing, yarnbombing, yarnstorming, guerrilla knitting, urban knitting or graffiti knitting is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fibre rather than paint or chalk. [source]
My most favorite tree (that happens to be outside my living room window) is experiencing a lot this Spring! Crows built a nest in it and successfully reared 4 children! Those crow babies just flew off a few days ago. And yesterday the tree was yarnbombed while I was babysitting my nephew.
OMG- what is the chance that MY TREE would get yarnbombed?! Of all places! AMAZING!!!
Congrats to North Vancouver Community Arts Council for creating such a great event!
