although the ‘wild knitting’ movement (or ‘urban knitting’) has been around for a while, it still really amuses me, the whole idea of making work that is so laborious (and non-destructive, unlike grafitti) and yet anonymously exhibited in the public arena like this, is somehow charming and subversive at the same time… like these pedestrians i came across this week complete with wooly hats

photographer lukas göbel sent me this unusual image, as he said ‘it’s not quite what you think you’re seeing’: in fact it is a jilted bride who is attempting to commit suicide and being restrained by someone, see more bizarre details here
