Forget the high of neon spray paint and stained clothes, hipster artist Jessie Hemmons, known as Ishknits, sews up a new kind of self-expressing graffiti.

Highlighting random items in Philadelphia with colorful yarn, Ishknits warms up the city with “Yarn Bombing.” The new graffiti-esque trend requires some experience with a needle and thread, but nontheless gives a new perspective to art.
Ishkits shows us the machine used to expedite her colorful process, as she makes pieces prior to draping items in the upbeat city. From splashing a neon block print on a telephone booth, to keeping the iconic “Rocky” statue warm with a pink knitted sweater, Ishknits has helped redefine the meaning of art and utilized its versatility.
