It’s always interesting when you stumble across a material out of context. It’s particularly striking when it happens three times in a week. Recently, yarn afgan patterns seem to be staging impromptu cameos all around town. This Commes Des Garcons summer knit from Barneys is adorable and proves it’s commercial worth. Playing off the concept of the flower bomb, this image of Magda Sayeg‘s yarn graffiti in Austin, TX found its way to my inbox from friend and fellow blogger, Nick Ducoff. A day later, I stumbled upon this bike on the lower east side. While it may be coincidence, it’s interesting to see seasonal material mash-ups, particularly when they cause a creative stir.
