But I don't agree with the original comment against it. It's doing no harm, it's damaging no property, it's using up old wool, it makes people smile and become a little more aware of their surroundings...and it's FUN!!! But then art is there to be loved AND hated!

Knitting is one of those media used to put it into a different context. It becomes part of a visual form that goes beyond just the knitting itself. It is getting attention for that reason.<br />regards<br />an artist in Yellow Springs Ohiojafabrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490900607853203086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945249573840495225.post-68418821035854663392009-10-09T09:25:07.931-07:002009-10-09T09:25:07.931-07:00Kris, I never took dislike of knit graffiti person...Kris, I never took dislike of knit graffiti personally, if I had taken any dislike of what I do as an artist I would never do the kind of artwork I do.

Yes mamakin, please send an Australian the American Constitution and tell her how it applies where she lives.<br /><br />And no, I'm not jealous of any of the knit graffiti I've seen in Sydney. I might be jealous of all the media attention it gets, but the ability to crank out badly-tensioned stocking stitch rectangles isn't something I'm pining for. I'd much rather continue knitting the things I find interesting: socks, cables, fairisle, instarsia, etc.<br /><br />I feel like I've been repeating this for two months now, but once again: My dislike of your art form is not a reflection on you personally.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02278844369320771025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945249573840495225.post-16175537717537182082009-08-23T14:09:23.108-07:002009-08-23T14:09:23.108-07:00yahoo!

Let's send her a copy-I'm sure she missed reading the Constitution in her rush to jump on something she can't do, rather than do something useful for society that she can do. Haters just have to be ignored as we go on our merry way knitting happy things all over our world. This from a 58 year old who is obviously still happy protesting & 'dong my own thing' - or as my kids proudly say- we're hippie thinkers just like our mom. I personally think she should leave us alone & go give her time to a soup kitchen, food pantry, homeless shelter, or charity of her choosing - oh, wait, I do that too....must be a bad thing, just like this graffiti....mamakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519945700874352744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945249573840495225.post-17511490119611121392009-07-23T12:57:49.118-07:002009-07-23T12:57:49.118-07:00I agree grrl=dog, sour grapes have a tendency to c...I agree grrl=dog, sour grapes have a tendency to cause the runs.jafabrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490900607853203086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945249573840495225.post-42957758516916029472009-07-23T02:18:57.918-07:002009-07-23T02:18:57.918-07:00lover-ly!
