Guerilla knitting!

A new breed of knitters has appeared in London, leaving small and witty signs of their presence all over the city.
Called Lady Loop, Deadly Knitshade's Whodunnknit or The Fastener, a group of graffiti knitters formed Knit The City They are urban guerilla artists and describe thus their approach: "It is a street art that harks back to woolly thoughts of grandmas and nice cups of tea by the fire, takes that stereotype by the blue rinse and drags it kicking and screaming into the street to wrap round a lamppost, blanket a bollard, or swathe a signpost." As Mutton wants to challenge stereotypes of the "older woman", we can only support such an initiative!
