I handed in my official last piece of uni work today. What a triumphant feeling! The project I had recently been working on was a series of "yarn bombings" or "urban knitting". I have to admit it has been one of my favourite projects I've worked on and am certainly going to continue with it now I have more time. I find the whole experience of knitting something and then using it to change your surroundings completely empowering. For so long I had wished to be away from Leeds and the endless grey but without much luck. When I started my graffiti knitting I found an immediate love for it and what it stood for. I couldn't think of a more beautiful way to some up the positive feeling I get when I am urban knitting than "You don't knit for hate". Indeed.
