Guerilla Knitting Taylor Square Sydney

[turtlemom1000]

we have some knit poles in Philadelphia near the Painted Bride. interesting.

[sagasagaism]

What do you guys think about the message? What kind of message is given through by knitting medium?

[Do0odiie]

what's the name of the song? i like it and i want to download it

[ThopPk]

GAY.

[ThopPk]

Ahh, you crazy hipsters you.

[Nubbins3]

@Sasquatcher777

Pollutes what scenery? A metal pole? A toilet? Some post boxes? How could you call covering a pole in some knitted fabric "pollution"? I don't know about you, but I'd rather look at something colorful and unique than uniform and boring.

[LawlMaster]

Oh, i thoguht this was some kind of grim documentary about Iraqis using yarn to hide bombs and killing people...

What a disappointment.

[susiesunshine55]

This is a lovely way to bring a little more color to the world! Lovely!

[xdarkhellhoundx]

There was no bobming or explosions thumbs down.

[bobhoward62]

what happens when it rains?

[cotyart]

@bobhoward62 It dries!

[patitofeo26]

I thought that at 1:50 was a coral reef or something, that was the reason I clicked on the video,

[cpthemonstergamer]

CRAZY WOW!!!!!

[gypsyqueen64]

Everything needs a knitted 'cozy', or 'cosie' :-)

[Pensaring]

Great idea....I like it.

[Dakotacrans95]

at 1:26 you will see boobies

[MoreofAL]

it makes everything look warm and fuzzy....

[PorschephileRS]

I have seen some yarn bombing in Denver, Colorado!!!!! It has already spread!

[eversssor]

this shit would just piss me off for no apparent reason

[joeyblondewolf3]

this is ritarted 

[wotucudavwon]

Meth is a hell of a drug.

[name860]

That's vandalizam!

[Bobwickz]

weird wonder why so many dislikes? o.O funky non the less

[eaxduoflagger]

Hilarious video - - > watch?v=0ePiorKl2l0

[stoopidtrooper]

hippies?

[DjDialogic]

Stuff like Flash mobs and street art like this only makes me wonder what happened to the anti-war movement.

[PerceptionModified]

What an absolute unique way to express yourself. I wonder how many untold smiles and laughs all of you have brought to people. Kudos.

[outameon2u]

Latest? This has been going on for about 15 years I remember seeing it in my undergraduate art classes when we covered the 1990s.

[NickDMic]

I don't understand why so many people are calling them hippies. They're artists, and this is their medium. Their taking a skill or interest they have and are putting a fun and interesting spin on it. They're not using spray paint for the same reason classical pianists don't make dubstep: it's not what they want to do.

[bigdreams009g]

WTF!! Guerilla knitting! HAHAH!! Spraying paint is faster n cheaper!

[mphello]

To the ungrateful anti-hippy assholes: these people are giving you FREE YARN.

So STFU.

[mphello]

All those ugly advertising signs that are illegally posted on street poles are a FAR worse eye sore and form of vandalism than this dumb knitting art. I take down those signs ("free guitar lessons", "sell your jewelry for cash!", etc) from telephone poles and city benches all the time.

[mphello]

I'm not into hippy culture and it annoys the hell out of me if hippies think that their bullshit music and art is anything more than entertainment. But, I'd still prefer the world be ruled by hippies than wacko organizations like the catholic church or islamofascists or other nutjob believers in "god", or Spanish culture with their murderous bullfights.

Unlike the spanish and rodeo-loving redneck americans, hippies at least have morals.

[rcoltons]

@mphello wow, you're naive

[mphello]

This is cute and entertaining, but why are these people wasting their time and money (on yarn) doing this?

[ArrowedDragon]

This isn't really vandalism since your working AROUND things.

[KatanaTopple]

1:50 Makes me want a cupcake for some odd reason.. :\

[MrG0TH1ER]

Are they the one who did that in montreal last year?

[Carobug5]

So, it's the new planking?

[mysticrunnerbabe45]

wtf 2:30?

[jhaul21]

meh not as cool as graffiti

[Shadowcamper1383]

1:33 dat ass

[AyBProductionz]

Is it just me or is this like the dumbest shit ever?

[KTMykel]

I find everything about this video offensive

[tommyaceshow]

take your hippie tea cup shit out of sydney and back down to melbourne

[NatYTTube]

wonderful

[KatanaTopple]

1:14 lol yarn toilet tissue

[bennett346]

i actually find that quite offensive.

[IHaveAMask]

Nice fire hazards, bitch.

[DaveFeinComedy]

FMIII..kay

[xXShunketsuXx]

this is so hipster my comment has classes

~o-o~

[andyandyband]

Mother Creator

~~ is my favorite mom ~~

[Jimmyjumpnjive]

Awesome!

[DbyDOfficial]

Why is a song about masturbating involved with knitting?

[lazerlightening]

@DbyDOfficial the song isn't about masturbation you dolt. It's called 'dancing with myself' by Billy Idol. But this was sang by someone else. A very dull version.

[DaJayManable]

@DbyDOfficial same thing.

[ViciousQQ]

why doesnt she knit some fucking clothes for PEOPLE who could actually use it

fucking hipster bitch

[weethemaster]

When I saw this video on youtube's front page, I thought the thing on 1:48 was a huge orange cupcake. Just me? ...Yeah, I thought so..

[BeetzDeez]

Yeah this is pretty cool. Especially since if people don't like it it only takes a few seconds to take down, not like spray paint which people always paint over in the wrong color anyways and it still looks like shit. Although the good spray paint street art is sick too imo.

[jonnois]

why are there so many dislikes, I think its cool, it brightens up the place

[zoar1033]

Thumbs up if you clicked this because you thought it would be a be a literal yarn bomb

[tsleazy4000]

I would dick-bomb her pussy.

[eLLriDe420]

i would just rip those stupid things off when i saw the hippie nigger putting them on, gtfo hippies

[SnitTrippin]

I hate this shit. After all the rainfall and blistering heat here the yarn looks disgusting and dirty. If you're willing to put it out there it's your responsibility to remove it as well.

[Cheesybitez22]

this video is waaaaaaay better /watch?v=Pkz3YR3_T2U

[vipersrock123]

WHY THE FUCK WAS THIS ON THE FRONT PAGE!!!

[charlieapeshit]

Terrorist! How dare she continually Yarn bomb densely populated areas with no regard for human fashion!... IS THERE NO HUMANITY!!!!

[isk8atparks]

lol this is the white version graffiti

[abandonnez]

I wonder how it deals with rain ;| ugh, wet yarn/knittings.

[elspoko]

This is so art school, it's laughable.

[skarecrowster]

Fantastic! Get a real job ffs!

[Duskbyte]

original song is better

[brennanmoriarty]

Scarecrows have serious presense [& class] too, but use XSmall clothing, if it's 6'4" I NEED IT.

cashmere? or chinese poli-acrylic?

How do you "fell about FELT" -yurts and nomadic swag-bags [sleep tight]. Are the Acoustic panels washable? warm or cold water?

[MightyTabooTiki]

Haha, awesome...makes the world a more beautiful place.

[CoolMan50740]

@MightyTabooTiki How this just defiles city property with peoples useless and disruptive yarn art or whatever the hell it is.

[MightyTabooTiki]

@CoolMan50740 Mad bro?

[10txram]

old ppl tag now?

[zottelmischel]

thanks

[1baljongenman]

get a life?!

[Ashedown]

It's extremely less offensive than graffiti tagging, it can be easily removed if the city officials says so and it's a form of art.

[xTwoFiveOhx]

@Ashedown How is it more of an art form than graffiti tagging? its fucking yarn

[Ashedown]

@xTwoFiveOhx Read again, I said It's less offensive than graffiti, not that's more of an art form.

[BackUpBrotha]

@Ashedown Knitting is not art.

[StringsCrusader]

@Ashedown graffiti is art as well... most of it is amazing, but a lot of kids who just want to tag stuff, give the culture a bad rap.

[RevolutionRDV]

Its like those gay flash mobs in that they force it on people. So unfortunately it makes it a complete waste of time. I will burn them if I ever see one.

[NXPL77]

:)

[LuisDiMexican]

well at least we know that we dont have to worry about light post getting cold during the winter :)

[monica24b]

really?

[misserinkristina]

love it!

[protestthis1]

i saw some in edmonton

[LtakeOanotherVlookE]

I found this amusing, you got a 'like' from me.

[SnapCrackleJared]

Looks like my grandmas attempt at graffiti.....

[Seafret1412]

I adore this kind of "graffiti" it's stupendous. Keep up the good work, from a woman who cannot knit a dishcloth....

[dug2991]

I was knitting yarn before it was mainstream.......ah what'll hipsters do to try and be cool next...

[123boy123boy12345678]

what is this shit

[LadyArtemis1975]

heheh it reminds me of the bad ass grannies from Monty Python YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!1

[obixango]

ummm.... how many sheeps where used to make this?

[mphello]

How BOO HOO! What a FUCKING HARDSHIP for those who think it's "vandalism".

These artists are giving you FREE YARN.

Meanwhile, the same ultra-politically correct assholes who would cry about these knitwits (which I agree is rather stupid) ignore REAL destruction of capital and government property by banksters like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, etc who steal the water supply, bridges, and other national property of countries.

Max Keiser 2012!

[izisricky1]

hahaha looks like the oldies are getting the own back

[izisricky1]

thats not graffiti thats just decorating, real graffiti is about making a point

[SchmidtyXX]

Its ART... as long as it conforms with our ancient societal beliefs right? pfftt.

[NZsquadron]

fuckin aussies. shuffling, planking, cone-ing and then this bitch? way to kill it hahaha

[MrAZOOZ1993]

this video is waste of my time and your time and every one time and this show how dumb you are thanks and have a bad day your best hater mika

[thesuperstarorg]

funny and dumb.

[ihmen]

i wonder how many freezing homeless children in Siberia those yarns could have saved.

[staphinfection]

We could do without the stupid fucking text on top of the video you know.

Maybe you'd get more fucking thumbs up that way... Also, this is the worst fucking cover of a Billy Idol song ever eveer ever fucking forever.... and it doesn't even give him credit.

[BobTheBuilder378]

You go to all this trouble and nobody even notices it (except the yarn-nerds who watch your video). What a waste of time.

[lephong]

@BobTheBuilder378 you're watching the video, so aren't you insulting yourself? it's just a bit of harmless fun, what does it matter

[savanah056]

in the tumbnail i thought it was a cupcake lol

[LittleKrow92]

TOYS!!!! :P

[ieatmidget]

I saw a permit parking sign in downtown Vancouver that was wrapped up with knitted stuff. I didn't know it was some kind of trend at the time. i approve of these knitted pole cozies.

[RewdAwakening]

It's hardly bombing when they're standing around for hours on end.... knitting....

Rebels

[Yaplap]

AMAZING ART! :DDDD

[LaxRatBra]

really gay stuff.

[defftony]

I like it except for one thing: STREET SIGNS. Not only are the words less clear, but I doubt the yarn is reflective for night time driving. Other than that, I'm all for art that doesn't harm anything.

What's all this stuff about sweaters for homeless people? It's their money to "waste", and yall don't know that they don't do that too, any more than I know that yall are doin anything for the homeless.

There's enough hateraid in here to fill an Ocean.

[miyuumei]

Someone did this to a post in front of a local museum (the Crocker). The museum was pretty happy about it. Viva art!

[vegetableorangutang]

meh

[Selimionicas]

sad



[deadcell85]

sweat shop vandalism XD

[ducttape5030]

If there was a riot there would be burining poles everywhere

[statoose]

Why is everyone being so mean in the comments? :( Yarn bombing seems like it's kind of neat...

[atlg8or6137]

YAWN...

[FlurryProd]

Innoffencive forms of street art? Blah! You gotta be kidding me..!

I don't get it... Why do the fucking system respect this ugly type of ''street art'' but not the spray-paint tags?

What's the difference if I'm fucking puts some garn on a bench or doin' a quick tag with some random Montana marker?

FUCK_THE_SYSTEM

[obixango]

see.....you dont have to talented to do well....

[Crunkington1]

uh oh look out for these guys! 

[iiSocrates]

makes clothes with this and give to the needy. Fuck you

[solisvictor1991]

on the bright side its easy to cut down with a knife :]

[COLLEGESTUDENT343]

ive seen some of this in San Franciso.. def caught me off guard lol.

you tube this though: "Conoce el tejido urbano. (Urban Knitting)"

BADASS ^.^!

[ShillJus000]

and the world can feel as warm and fuzzy as we project ourselves to be....a bit closer match would be a battleaxe or M4 carbine....

vandalism?....not nearly close.....more like a minor annoyance...

[Tenaciousdinimo]

this is how nerd graffiti...

[otnomnoraa]

These nasty white bitches need to die

[916DMAC]

this is the gayest thing i've evr seen dont call it knit tagging or knit graffiti its knitting so stfu 

[rwuh89]

people still knit?

[stopableron]

i dont get this 

[chrisrrox1]

better not knit my fucking house I swear to god I will pour gasoline all over your house and burn it.

[xUb3rh4x0rx]

this is retarded

if i saw this i would slash it up and throw it away

[ThopPk]

Ahhh, you crazy hipsters you.

[Rockster969]

@ThopPk nitting power, lol!

[parafleet]

A pathogen in the soil.

This is Chewby Lewis? I pictured him smaller.

[apurplebutton]

....so many hipsters....ahhh.

[MidgetClownPorn]

"performance knitters" Is it really necessary to give yourself over-inflated titles? Quit being pretentious cunts.

[FaLc336]

@noodles356 u are to but you are prolly fapping to this along with ur gay man porn

[vsuri1975]

Another white thrash and a nigger going at it instead of laughing it out

[42KaKa]

If you actually made nice shit it would be okay, but you are just polluting your city with ugly hippy crap. You arent trying to show street art, you are just leaving an ugly mark everywhere. That's not art, if it where art, well then frigging territorial animals who take a piss everywhere to leave a mark are damn Van Goghs

[tharevrendal]

@42KaKa ...well, given the amount of meaning contained in the urine signature which is communicated to the other piss-taggers (see...their bodies alter the chemistry in that whiz for various purposes/intentions, thus actual intentional meaning)...i'm cool with a few being master piss-taggers.

[bramrod08]

White text doesn't work in front of a white background.

[charlesgramm]

Everybody sub me now.

[Sismiques]

I should tear these stupid things down!

[str1nggbbean]

im thinkin MAYBE yall r taking it a lil 2 seriously

[lephong]

@cdguy47 actually its not. vandalism-"Willful or malicious destruction of public or private property". it's not destroying property, just enveloping it in yarn. it's the equivalent of putting a poster on a pole. it's removable, and it doesn't deface property

[krisstopher07]

Its a tad more constructive than painting on a wall. Though i wonder how they are not caught.

[muffinma79]

i thought it was a giant muffin =(

[hultonclint]

The poor defenseless buildings are being made to look like hippies. Not fair.

[PreetTyagi]

@Bananadine not criticising. Not saying anything bad about it. Just saying its quite worthless.. About what you said - I completely agree with you about the drug dealing idiots... But the answer to battling one useless thing is not coming up with another useless one rite? I'm just thinking. Open for a healthy discussion. I mean - yeah - these yarn knitters are much better than others out there...

[Exmech2]

@threadlessfan Didn't help.

[Darkz114]

there are much better ways to waste your time you know...

[charlesgramm]

This makes my penis sad

[MrEnergyCzar]

It looks like a giant cup cake or something...

[singingcetacea]

yeah. like the beers were harmed... I'll eat my socks if those beers are still around to tell the tale.
