Entry: Where my taggers at?? Friday, June 09, 2006



'Sup kidz.  So lately I've lost any inspiration or motivation for knitting anything useful.  This is totally beside myself, so I'm not quite understanding why I feel compelled to make... swatches.  Not just swatches, but i-cords, strips, striped rectangles.  Well, let me explain some more.

 

 

 

That's right, you guys... 

KNIT GRAFFITI!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ain't it the swellest thang that's happened?  I've been wanting to do social art for awhile now, and I've always wanted to incorporate fibers in whatever I do, so this is it.  Me and my good friend Max went on the popular street of 4th ave. on a Tuesday night and slipped i-cords onto antennas and wrapped big fatty tubes onto tree branches and garter stitched belts to that yellow pole at the ATM.  The last picture was the first one I did, and is on the side of the building I work at.  Nice reminders.

SO, if you haven't, I highly encourage you to knit some graffiti and tag some shyit up, YO!  Seriously, it's even like giving a gift to the public, something you knit, leave it on a doorstep -- or preferrably, tied to the doorknob.  But to me its a fucking great feeling. 

Oh, and since I've been knitting those useless things, I've started the first pair of socks of the YEAR.  Yeah, it's been awhile.  <3

Interesting concept. Interesting list. I'm fascinated with the knit graffiti. Keep us posted.

The Thin Man is one of my favorites!
