A Sunflower Sprouted Overnight

April 25, 2012

Sunday night someone yarn-bombed the stop sign across the street from my house. I was thrilled since I had heard they were only in the Clairemont neighborhood of San Diego. Now there’s one (or more?) in Point Loma.

This new form of public art started in Texas in 2005. Knitters (and crocheters) create colorful yarn pieces and attach them to posts, poles, railings, fences, statues and other outdoor things.

Read about the “Knitting Guy” and his Kickstarter Project at his website Stop Sign Flower. On April 22 he reached his goal of 100 sunflowers planted in Clairemont. Check the Flower Map for their locations. There’s an interview with the “Knitting Guy” in a City Beat story.

May a stop sign sunflower appear in your neighborhood!
