Knitta Please

"[2] Knitta grew to eleven members by the end of 2007, but eventually dwindled down to its founder, Magda Sayeg, who continues to travel and knit graffiti.

[1] By 2009, there was a groundswell, according to Sydney, Australia author and academic Emily Howes, who identified groups in Scandinavia, Japan, South Africa, and the United States.

[7] They tagged trees, lamp posts, railings, fire hydrants, monuments and other urban targets,[5] Another popular piece involved hanging knitted-bagged sneakers over aerial telephone cable.

[citation needed] Later that year, using more than 50 feet (15 m) of knitted material donated by volunteers of the crew's mailing list, they wrapped the top half of a Seattle monorail column.

[9] A year later, they were invited to the Standard Hotel in Los Angeles, which caters to an edgy clientele, to tag a glass box featuring trendsetters' designs and concepts.

[1] To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Bergère de France, the first manufacturer of French yarn,[8] the company invited Knitta to Paris to "revitalize urban landscapes with knitted pieces".

[14] Knitta's work has also been seen in London, Sydney, Rome, Milan, Prague, Sweden, Montreal, Mexico City, El Salvador, Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg and atop the Great Wall of China.
