"Yarn Bombing"

I was thinking about an artwork I could do outdoors and I came across another graduate from Manual who does this thing called "yarn bombing". I have seen pictures of trees that have been wrapped with knitted or crocheted yarn before, but her blog reminded me of it. So, I decided to try it myself using what she's done as inspiration. 

She not only wraps trees, but she also wraps random things in different places she's travelled to. She's posted pictures on her blog here: http://jnchainmail.wordpress.com/

I've posted pictures from what I did. I just wrapped a few branches of a birch tree in my yard. I didn't have much yarn to work with and it was my first time trying this so please excuse the wonkiness. 

I personally like the effect this has because I feel like it gets people to slow down and actually look at what's around them. I want to work more doing this sort of thing, but working more towards the direction of things found in nature itself.
