Empire Road Roundabout, January 2010


Inspired by groups like Knitta in America and others all over the world I decided to start guerilla knitting (or yarn-bombing/ grafitti knitting) in my area of Sheffield.


I put up this tag on the lampost in the middle of the mini roundabout near my house in January 2010.


I expected it to get trashed within a few day but it is still there even now (Jan 2011!). Although subsequent ventures have not faired as well...


People in the community seem to like it and look after it. Sometimes it slides down but sooner or later someone always pulls it back up.
