Anyone Up For An International Game of Granny Tag? (a.k.a. crochet graffiti)
Sometimes people quit their jobs and start acting all crazy and wild. What do I do? I yarn bomb a tree in broad daylight wearing bright orange cargo pants and CraftSanity T-shirt and immediately start feeling like a brazen, bad*ss. For someone with a spirit that’s at least 110, this is probably a crazy and wild as it’s going to get.
So today, with the moral support of a crafty accomplice, who – for the meantime – shall remain nameless, I started up a game of “Granny Tag,” a peaceful, non-destructive and completely removable form of crochet graffiti that calls for the random placement of granny squares in public places. So how about it, folks, who’s in? E-mail me with “Granny Tag” in the subject line of you want to play. You can live anywhere in the world to participate. Details to follow.
Oh, and here’s the link to this week’s art & craft column and here’s the column from previous week.

I think this is hysterical. I would, but I can’t knit or crochet. I’d made some ornaments with my grandma’s photo a while back. Maybe I could hang one of them. Nah. Cool graffitti though.

Admittedly it was my own tree, and I later sent the 140 cm length to the National Gallery of Australia for their big Knitta Please yarn bombing event, but still! Your post made me laugh!

I love public art. There is a town in the USA who does this themed to the store’s function. Very cool. Here is a link to a project that featured trees and knitting.
