Yarn bombing - would you do it?

[Daydream Believer]

Have you heard of yarn bombing? would you do it?
Would you call it graffiti or art?

I came across yarn bombing today & thought it seemed very interesting, basically people knit or crochet something & put it in public places.
For example knitting up along rectangle & wrapping it around a tree or a pole. In some cases people have gone as far as covering an entire park bench & covering a red phone booth (in the UK)
Other people knit little "scarves" with flowers, etc attach to them & tie them to the poles street signs are attached to

If you google yarn bombing it will come up with links (Im not sure if I can post them here)

So what are your opinions?

I had never heard of this before, why would people do this?

The tree looks good!

i think it looks good but im attached to my work so couldn't pass it up and do that lol.

I think I want to knit my tree a scarf! What happens when it rains

it takes me to long to knit anything so by the time im finished it would be just weird

but it may be a way to get rid of some of the not so awesome items that have been knitted for the kids

doudou funny you should say that, just after I posted that I remembered that this morning I was looking at some woolen knitted jumpers that I will probably never wear again and wondered what I should do with them.

There is no-one around where I live so my tree wouldn't offend any neighbours
