Disrupting the Status Quo, One Sweater at a Time

There's a new graffiti movement in town. Their weapon of choice? Yarn. Armed with knitting needles and crocket hooks, yarn bombers are bringing their cozy, brightly colored, and ever-so-slightly subversive creations to bike racks, buses, statues and other public fixtures in cities all around the world. Check it out:

This rocks, and not just because the sweaters are cute (but they totally are, and we totally want one). No, the yarn bombers rock because they look at a stone sculpture and don't just see a statue, they see an opportunity to transform it into something more beautiful and remarkable. That's the kind of thing this world needs a lot more of.

Note to the yarn bombers: you can yarn-bomb our office any time.
