I hadn't seen the Telegraph but have heard of Yarnbombing. Only last week I picked up a copy of the Rochdale Art Gallery (Touchstones) brochure for spring and they have yarnbombing going on there. www.artyarn.blogspot.com has some info on it to.

What a creative idea to do with excess yarn. My wiener dog says as long as wiener dogs are going to be on anyones yarnbombing hit list. She is good with it.
I should think there are quite a few pets who'd be eager to help, not to mention small children!
Wow this is awesome! Have linked to you in my post about Crayon art... :)
OK so with 4mm needles cast on how many stitches?
That's beautiful! I'm glad it's hitting Britain, it'd certainly cheer me up on a dark, wet and windy day!
This bus is amazing! I totally want to do this to our car!
