Guerrilla Crochet & Knitting in NYC

When I was in Manhattan a few weeks ago I was delighted to come across the "9th Street Fence" guerrilla knitting project at the PS122 Gallery at 150 1st Avenue. Crocheted webs and knitted tubes adorned the wrought-iron fence that was surrounded by blue construction poles.

I especially enjoyed the notes people left for each other there.

Ever come across unexpected yarn art during your travels?

I wish I had a picture to post of the crocheted frisbees from Guatemala that I came across this weekend at the Festival for the Eno in Durham, N.C. They were gorgeous in bright colors and they did work. I tried it. They were being sold at $10 each.
