Yarn bombing has gone completely legitimate. What started as some knitters running out in the middle of the night and putting ‘sweaters’ on lamp posts has know gotten the imprimatur of the authorities.
Grand Central market in DTLA has become the hot spot for fancy expensive food, so of course it’s needs a little colorful sprucing up as well. Btw, I’m not a naysayer of the improvements, I’ve enjoyed, Wexler’s Deli, McConnell’s Fine Ice Cream, Valerie. Haven’t stood in line for Eggslut, but have bought fruits, veggies, spices and household goods from the old time vendors.
Yarnbombing Los Angeles, has gone from guerrilla bombing to working hand in hand with the authorities to create yarn centered art. In this case, celebrating downtown with both knitting and crochet.We are in the Laughlin Annex up on Hill St. They do need more seating arrangements, because it’s getting very busy. On the yellow background they have created symbols of downtown, here we have the Metro line.The new Oyster Bar, The fashion and flower districts are represented.The Jewelry district and an overhead view of Disney Hall.City Hall and the toy district.Yarn and crochet side by side.
If you have a chance, go to one of the hippest places in LA, grab some great food and enjoy some yarn art.
