Knitting Ninjas?

That's right "Needle Ninjas"- people who take their grandmas seriously. No, but seriously, the guerilla art group "Needle Ninjas" has given a fresh take on graffiti and spray-paint. The group has taken on guerilla knitting as a way to leave their mark on the world and bring art to the public in unexpected forms and places; crocheting much-needed cozies for loose bricks, street signs, door handles, and any other naked bits of the city. According to the "Ninja"s themselves, "[they] are a group of cool girls who just want to make the world a prettier place one stitch at a time. We knit, we tag, and we drink! Knit Happens." The group started back in April 2007 in the Kansas city area and have been blogging their chronicles ever since.
I am particularly inspired by the group's innovation in the world of anarchist art in the sense that text and painted graffiti make up most of the the haphazard art in the public realm (mostly because its cheap, durable, and easily/quickly done). Knitting and crocheting on the other hand, is time consuming more costly and less durable. But these art zealots take the hit if it means cozying up their city, as well as diversifying guerilla art in their town. This was important for me to see and I think important for other to know because it shows that public art really has no boundaries or specific forms. If you think that your town needs something- think outside of the box and go for it! Good luck!
By the way, I found blog links etc on the Needle Ninjas and many other groups worth checking out at Le-trash.com.
