Urban knitting, fuzzy graffiti or obsession?

Urban knitting is also known as Yarn Bombing DIY and Guerrilla Knitting. It can be described as graffiti with yarn and stitch.  Trees, street furniture, and other objects are “dressed” in bold and multi coloured knitted and crocheted patterns.  The woolly pom-poms and iron railing “hats” look so interesting.  Actually getting the knitted shapes to fit the trees is a mystery to me. Do you sit up a tree and knit like mad? Check out the VIMEO link to see what could happen to urban knitters who become addicted to this harmless hobby.
