Guerrilla Knitting: Castro Gets Yarn Bombed
Categories: WTF?
Who's to say the Castro isn't colorful enough? It appears the city's most flamboyant neighborhood has become the victim of "yarnbombing," a trend that was popularized in 2005 in, of all places, Houston, Texas. Now that's a state that could arguably use some more color.
We thank knitting observer Matt Leavitt for snapping this shot of one of the Castro's more sightly public displays.
While we do support covering up those Castro poles, we'd really like to see these artists put their grandma graffiti skills toward making BART a little cleaner and more colorful.

Curious about this guerrilla art, we did a quick Google search and found that knit graffiti is so popular it even has its own Wikipedia page!
