street art in los angeles

i'm a huge fan of street art,

always have been.

a week or so ago, we were out and about and we came across this little bit.

i simply had to share.

what's better than street art?

street art with a girlie twist.

yay!

i found this little bit of crocheted loveliness on sunset boulevard in the ever so hipster area of silverlake.

{it's right down the street from where we go to the farmer's market}

these little babies were crocheted on to a post in front of a shop.

they are on one of those posts where bikes park

what do you call those posts anyway?

bike parking post?

hmm...

anyhow,

i did  a little research on this form of street art, now called yarnbombing 

i found out some cool facts

it all started in 2005 with a group called 

knitta 

 they began the knit graffiti craze.

the only continuing member of the original group is magda sayeg

you can check out her blog here

i also found another blog dedicated to yarnbombing throughout the world.

visit the blog here

probably my favorite thing about where we live is that it is a treasure trove of fun and excitement.

i never know what we are gonna stumble upon.

adventures in los angeles!

fun!

happy girlie street art!
