Don't Mess With Texan Knitters
Ooh, we knew those knitters had a wild streak. The Houston-based crew, Knitta Please, have come to NYC and bombed various parts of the city. But don't crap your pants, City Councilman Vallone - their "tags" are adorable little woolens attached to sign poles and more. PolyCotN tells the Daily News it's not really vandalism since the tags, which are remnants of lingering knitting, incomplete projects, can be easily unbuttoned. Aw, even a grandma would like that.
Here's a post we did about knitting resources, but there's a whole subculture of kniting blogs (one we like is New York Minknit) - give us some links to more in the comments! tAnd here's the MySpace page for knittaplease.

I once saw a couple of knitters stealing a car.
Knitta's great. It even warmed the cold, cold hearts of Houston officials, who didn't go around town tearing the tags down. (Either their hearts were warmed or they were confused by the whole thing -- hard to say.)
