A nice bit of seasonal yarn-bombing on either end of a bench which I came across in Victoria Park in Glasgow today.

Welcome to the Metropolitan Branch Trail ramp! Big bright red-on-green "Free DC" yarn bomb covers a couple feet (vertically) of the black pole at starts of the trail's railing. Nighttime photo under street lamp.
Stitcher says of this one: "Energy from No Kings inspired me to get this one out into the world. RIA entrance from the MBT. A passerby said 'thank you' as they walked up the ramp. 😊"

#FreeDC
Oh, hello. If you are stuck at the red light at 12th Str. SW crossing Independence Ave., at least you have something to look at while you wait.
Until it's torn down, anyway, which is true of everything in our city, come to think of it--way of all things, and all that.

MORE epic #yarnbombing for #FreeDC, memorials for Renee Good + Alex Pretti in the mix. These went up today by Smithsonian Metro stop + USDA, facing Freer Gallery.
Guy in the suit tried to rip down "MAGA bites" but gave up. Bring scissors next time, we guess?

Anyone for CoolCoffee (and #FreeDC)? Brookland

✊🏼✊🏽 Tabling for Free DC! 5 smiling people wearing “Free DC” tees and a sash, standing together behind a table covered with handouts, zines, QR codes, yarnbombs and logo paraphernalia.

A circle of pink-purple crochet roses. Each rose has a label attached. The labels are in the middle of the circle. On the label is a purple hand print and they say: Stop Gender Based Violence #RosesAgainstViolence

array on table top of four colorful, non-identical granny squares, a crochet hook and small scissors, and a rolled (and therefore not entirely visible) knit banner that says "JULIAN," in memory of DC citizen Julian Bailey, murdered this month by a U.S. Marshal.
A+ for cheery color, so far, and C- for consistency of shape and size.

Pebble-dash sidewalk lined by allee of leafless wintry willow oaks along the Potomac River Channel in Southwest D.C. Patches of snow remain alongside. In foreground, at eye level on pebbled Mid-Century Modern light pole, is affixed a red banner reading "FREE DC."
Close-up of FREE DC banner on the beautiful Southwest waterfront beyond the DC Wharf. In background, you can see the row of globe-shaped light poles broken up by tasteful low shrubbery beds. Beyond that, Buzzard Point + Fort McNair, where the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers meet to flow together to the Chesapeake Bay.
From maybe it's last day on view, in mid-February, a knitted "ALEX" yarnbomb tied to the promenade fence. It's black-bordered black on white with a red cross for his nursing service. Behind it, sun glances on gently wavy waters of the Potomac Channel, with the Hains Point/East Potomac Park treeline in the distance. (That's the park where Trump wants to take over an affordable public golf course to brand + gild it in his execrable fashion, ruining it for the actual "real Americans" who live here and enjoy it as it is.)
Get yourself down to the Southwest waterfront--Titanic Memorial's always nice--to see gorgeous Tunisian crochet #FreeDC #yarnbombing ART while it's still hanging.
"Alex" memorial, alas, disappeared this week, but not before spending weeks in the winter sun. #alexpretti

Jeg skrev en gang en artikel om gadestrik i Aalborg. Der er også noget om baggrunden for fænomenet. #gadestrik #yarnbombing
COLOR! Bright red FREE DC banner is strung on black fencing in front of a colorful graffiti-art mural along the MBT bike highway.

A symphony of shadow + color: A sapling casts wintry shadows on sidewalk snow banked against brightly muraled walls (tile? paint? not sure). Running down a foot or two of the tree's trunk is a bright red/white "FREE DC" knitted banner.
Another red/white vertical knitted "FREE DC" yarnbomb is affixed to the back of a stop sign on a street corner in front of what looks like an art deco theater building (housing a photo store).
Cheerily splayed on sidewalk fencing overlooking the entrance to Edgewood Arts center (signage visible in background) is a larger FREE DC knitted banner, several few inches wide, offering cheer to passersby in the snow.
Gotta love when #FreeDC #yarnbombing spree goes to an *arts center*. Stitcher put these up this week in Brookland + Edgewood. @freedcproject.bsky.social #yarnbombs #craftivism
Laced up with frigid fingers Saturday. Anyone near 14th Street in Columbia Heights know if it's still up?
> Funny: Passersby hardly notice you #yarnbombing in broad daylight -- unless stopping to thank you. ♥️

Snowy sidewalk. Gray plastic signpost of the type they put outside restaurants and shop doors, but with no message on it save our "FREE DC" knit banner. Across the city street is a low-rise urban shopping center housing a Target.
Close-up of the same "FREE DC" knit yarnbomb, red letters on beige. Behind it can be seen dirty snow drifts, passing car, and an Old Navy storefront across 14th Street NW.

Columbia Heights
Hard to find appropriate surfaces for these larger ones, but the beauty of this spot is that it faces 🎯 -- and Target works with ICE.
