Yarn Bombing Hits Denmark

Some years ago before I started knitting, I noticed a bust of a man who was of local relevance a long time ago fitted with a hand knitted Santa cap just a couple of days before Christmas.  I had never heard of yarn bombing and only figured out some years ago that I had been witness to a bombing some years ago when I saw this site: www.yarnbombing.com.

So I am reading the local newspaper’s website at work (because that’s what you are supposed to do at work…) and found the following article in Danish: http://politiken.dk/turengaartil/rejsenyt/storbyogkultur/ECE1337093/strikkeguerillaer-indtager-storbyerne/ 

So the Danes are finally hip with it.  Hopefully I will see more guerilla knitting coming soon.

  2. Oh, I see it says AP. I don't know how to let them know it isn't AP, but mine. Can you let them know? I would really appreciate it.
    The tree is by the jafagirls.
