Needless to say, someone had a heck of a lot of extra time on his/her hands to accomplish this massive yarn crafting tasks! Yoza! Actually, this bus was covered with the help of a team of knitters, and the practice of covering items in knitted or crocheted material is called Yarnbombing, according to an article from the Telegraph, which is the source of this photo.

I was intrigued with the term and concept, so did some quick web surfing to find out more and found, of course, a blog called Yarnbombing, and the bloggers also have a book out under the same title. I think this artwork is amazing and beautiful, but at the same time, the practical side of me (who also lives in Florida where the sun cooks everything outside) can’t help but wonder how these pieces look after, say, a week or two in the elements. Of course, you could do your yarnbombing inside.
