Yarnbombers add color and crocheted warmth to gray and sooty cityscapes, and their creations are the warmest and fuzziest works in the street art scene.
Yarn enthusiasts Jill and Lorna Watt brought a bit of monstrous fun to San Francisco’s Embarcadero by turning two benches outside the Ferry Building into colorful yarnbombed monsters.
These monster benches weren’t created solely for aesthetic value or to further yarnbombing as a valid art form- the yarn art installation was created for an upcoming episode of CCTV America’s Full Frame which will focus on these innovative yarn artists who also happen to be sisters.

These are actually mostly knit (on a machine) and only some of the parts like the eyes, hands and feet are crocheted. You'd have to be a super masochist to crochet the whole thing!

I really appreciate people making things like this, but I also get an immediate tinge of sadness, knowing they will be vandalized and ruined within a day or two.
