Along with the cold, a multicolored meme has swept across the city, enlivening anything from squares to canals to people's homes!
Breigraffiti, "graffiti knitting," also known as guerrilla knitting, yarnstorming, or, as Leiden calls it, urban knitting, has luckily taken over the globe...one loop at a time.
For almost two years now I've been noticing these colorful — what I like to call — "multifunctional leg warmers" making their way onto every tree trunk, lamp post, bike rack, bridge and cafe in the Netherlands.

Leiden is a permanent, ever-changing display of street art, from its international wall poems to its traditional graffiti and now inspiring wool work.
