In a cultural shift that I don’t entirely understand, knitting and craft have become hip in progressive/feminist/socialist/earth-muffin circles. Nose rings and tattoos, it seems, are no longer incompatible with tissue cozies and throw blankets. Spend a few minutes browsing Etsy, and you’ll see what I mean.
The logical conclusion of this: yarn bombing. Yes, knitting as graffiti.
Ummm…. Hello? This is my ‘hood social circle, pretty much. Although you neglected to mention the copious drinking involved. Craft Night indahouse and going on two plus years strong, beeyotch!
yeah … this whole hipster knitting circle thing has been around for so many years that i was hoping it was finally losing some of its momentum
