This is graffiti a blind person could share, so I think it's extra amazing and creative.

As beautiful as it might be – and definitely easier to remove than toilet paper, which gets worse after it rains – it is still a form of vandalism, and we cannot excuse those acts, without excusing acts of graffiti for the same reasons.

@hezzywoo Umm... I'm a straight guy and I crochet and often go tagging in Tacoma, Washington. It's not just for women. :)

Whoever said this art form is not meaningful hasn't thought it through. This is subverting conventional ideas about the knitted medium and empowering women, reviving an old craft and maintaining the positive impact of graffiti without the damage it causes.

@beagleskin i didnt mean to say it was a waste of time, I just felt that this form of art has the potential to do good that other artforms dont. I mean i could donate oil paintings to charity, but its of no use to homeless people. And as i said earlier i do appreciate their work.

@hydronathan All art material has practical use. Your canvas before the oil paint is on it could be used to make tents, clothes blah blah. I still don't see your point. I can't see what good donating a yarn-covered wooden barrier to charity would do either.
