"A lot of people equate graffiti with those ugly gang tags, but graffiti has come a long way.No longer the purview of the rebellious youth or gangs with a spray can.
NO! knitters have been adding their part and there is a revolution going on.
Gangs of grannies (well young men and women too) with knitting needles have been yarn bombing and tagging anything standing still for 5 minutes. How delightful to see knitting used in so many new ways.

The Ann Arbor Chronicle asks about the graffiti in the alley, "Is it art?"
I answer the question on my blog, jafabrit's art".
