This was a nice article to research – all about the fluffy face of graffiti: yarn bombing, or as Kiwis like to call it, “woolly tagging”. We were glad to see the very long art installation was in full view by 10am when we came down to have a look. So many amazing pieces of knitting – from 90 people in 9 countries, all coordinated by one lady in Devonport. Really a sweet idea and a lot of passion, talent and care went into each of the pieces.
One lady on the day even said, “It was in theĀ Herald this morning, you know…” No one ever mentions they have read my articles so that was the closest I got, without revealing it was me who had written it. Hope people go down and have a look next time they catch the ferry. Here’s a picture of an enormous 45cm octopus and Knitty Graffity with my article – nice when people appreciate it!
