Stringfitti?…
I saw a website once about these crafty new graffiti artists that instead on paint used string, yarn, or other textiles… knitting cozies for fire hydrants, wrapping lightposts in yarn, that sort of thing. Honestly I love it. I think graffiti, when not insanely distructive or hateful is a beautiful thing. It seems though as if these “string artists” have made it to the twin cities…hell…maybe they were here the whole time and I just opened my eyes.
But anyway, I’ve been noticing small things, large things, chain link fences with HOT or HOTTER written in string. They make me smile. I found this the other day and really loved it though. It made me want to find my inner vandal and take up crocheting again. There are some hydrants around here that could using sprucing up.

Gives a whole new meaning to “string theory” doesn’t it?
