Crazy Mohair Crochet and Guerrilla Crochet

I was rooting around on Trend Tablet, which is produced by Li Edelkoort, the woman who does the 'Bloom' trend forecasting magazine. They have the magazines in the library, or you can see some of the archive on the website.

Anyway, on Trend Tablet, I found this page about a group from South Africa called 'Mohair South Africa', promoting the mohair produced there.

This is the Trend Tablet page about them: http://www.trendtablet.com/478-mohair-3/

This is the official Mohair South Africa page: http://www.mohair.co.za/

Here's a video of some crocheting they did. It is some of the craziest knitting and crochet I have ever seen!

Which got me thinking about guerrilla crochet/yarn bombing. I found both of the images below here. I think I might start having a go at doing some things like this which interact with their surroundings, that are humorous or surprising.
