It's this crazy thing called yarn bombing, basically taking the idea of grafitti and turning it into knitted or crocheted goods. It's thought to have been started in Texas with a group of women just trying to brighten up the world without defacing public property. The cool thing is that it has really caught on and is happening worldwide. You can find these "yarn bombs" in the form of sweaters made for statues, wrapping trees or poles and I even read an article how potholes down a street in Paris were filled with yarn chains.
Check out this awesome website where it shows some great stuff http://yarnbombing.com/
Oh and International yarn bombing day is June 11th!
I also stumbled upon this little gem while meandering through the world wide web... http://thetoysociety.blogspot.com/
