Knitta, Please! Website

We came across these images and figured with this being art month and all, maybe you would allow us to indulge in a killer art concept that may or may not have anything to do with interior design.

From THE BEST titled website we have ever heard, Knitta Please! is devoted to creating and capturing images of knitted tagging... as apposed to spray-painted tagging.

Imagine waking up one morning to see your car has been tagged, only instead of dripping messy paint, your hood ornament is all snuggly warm in a knit cozy. If that’s not changing the world for the better we don’t know what is. This just makes us smile and smile, and after all, isn't that what art should be all about? Where my Knittas at?!

Awesome! I'm a knitter, so I can definitely relate! Last year I knitted a scarf that looks like the DNA double helix. If you want to see some really bizarre knitting, go to

You'll see the human digestive system: all knitted, :)

The hood ornament is amazing, but not knitted by knitta please. Someone else knit that one. . . .

This makes me so happy! Knitting as borderline criminality!

funny! I'd just stumbled onto this site a few minutes ago. I REALLY want to crocheted deer head

who knew knitting could be so militant?! i'm all for it. wish i knew how to knit properly. even the knitting for dummies book confused me.

dani, I wanted to teach myself to knit and so I bought "Knitting for Dummies" and "Kids Knitting". I couldn't figure it out. Finally a co-worker taught me how to cast on and the knit stitch. With that information, plus the videos at www.knittinghelp.com , I'm doing great now!

Does anyone know anything about that knitted hood ornament sweater? I thought I saw something about it the other day as I surfed the web, but I cannot seem to retrace my steps. Grr.

Seriously. I would learn to knit just to make those hood ornaments.

Someone above mentioned knitting deer heads. I thought I'd gush over another Houston artist that does, indeed, crochet entire deer heads, among other things, and they are absolutely amazing. Check her out!

A few years back, Ian Phillips at Pas De Chance (small indie press from Toronto) published a mock '50s crafts booklet called "Tombstone Cozies". I recommend you track it down because it is pee-your-pants funny.

The 'Best Titled Website Ever'? Are you serious? Racism isn't a joke or fodder for word play.

I agree with Jesse--Knitta has possible the worst titled website name.

Furthermore, this post is really egregious--particularly the last sentence. Playing on racist language is simply unacceptable.

This is a really offense name on so many levels. Clever idea, but the name not so much. It's really disappointing that such a well respected site would endorse something so blatantly out of line. Can we please not perpetuate and further celebrate such ignorance?! On top of it all to end the post with that last sentence was beyond tasteless.

What happens to this knitted stuff after it's been out in the elements for a few weeks? Does it just become sodden garbage in the street?

And, I agree about the name. It's only funny if you don't think about it all.

so much creativity in their product, but none in the name . what a great way to distance audience members.
