Yarn bomb

When most people think of knitting, they think of yarn sweaters, scarves, or hats. But some people do something different with knitting. They yarn bomb! Yarn bombing is a kind of street art. People knit colorful “jackets” to cover large objects, such as cars, trees, bicycles, and even bridges!

Knot the Bridge is the largest yarn bomb project ever in the United States. Hundreds of people knitted 2,500 panels and covered the Andy Warhol Bridge in Pittsburgh with them. It was a special project because many groups of people worked on it together. They became closer through the project.
