There are groups of people that focus on urban knitting such as Yarn Bombing DIY, Urban Knitting and Guerilla Knitting. Their art form is kind of like graffiti but instead of spray cans these use yarn and sewing materials. The knitters mark trees, street polls, and other objects in a bright and colorful manner.
