Graffiti With Wool?

Always remember... you saw it here first.

The phenomenon is known as "yarn bombing" and it has been used so far for everything from wrapping buses to knitting sweaters for trees. Cute?Clever?Creative? Certainly all of that, but more importantly easy to remove without harming the environment. Moreover the removed yarn is 100% recyclable.

One disconcerting note - the article mentions the use of wool graffiti to make covers for stop signs. Obviously this is dangerous for drivers and pedestrians alike and should subject the "artist" to criminal sanction.

With the above exception this is one form of graffiti that I can't find a reason to dislike. If only the gang bangers would swap their guns for knitting needles.
