Yesterday I invaded the territory of the Rausfrauen: I left my first yarn bombing in Munich! Although my knitting might look slightly aggressive with its prickles and spines it's not meant that way at all. And if you touch it you will feel that it is as soft and snug as all my other knittings.
I left it close to a monument, next to a fountain in a nice recreation area on some kind of pole with the numbers "502" on it which inspired me to name my knitting "502" as well.
While I tied it up there, a woman came to me to ask for the way. She came back a minute later and asked me what I was doing. I answered that I was trying to make this place nicer (don't get me wrong, that place was actually already quite nice. But that is no reason to not leave a yarn bombing there!), and she seemed to think about my answer for a moment but then left with a smile on her face.
After I was done and was taking pictures an elderly man came to me. Apparently he hadn't seen me leaving the knitting there. He was wondering what the purpose of it might be and who it might have put there, and we talked a little bit about it (without me revealing myself because I didn't want to "influence" his reaction). He seemed to like it very much and left with a smile on his face as well.
As I already mentioned in my post about my previous yarn bombing "illusion" in Budapest, where I also had the chance to experience a very positive reaction to my knitting, such kind of feedback by people make it definitely worth all the effort! Thanks! :-)
