There's an Extreme Craft article about knit graffiti (which references the original AP story). Apparently, there's a group of people in Yellow Springs, Ohio who do this (among others, I'm sure), and there's a shot of one of the trees in town in the link. The picture to the left is from Flickr, by kelly__m.
From there I also found a link to Knitta:
Knitta began in August 2005, when the soon-to-be-Knittas were discussing their frustration over unfinished knitting projects: half-knitted sweaters and balls of yarn gathering dust. That afternoon, they knit their first door handle. Then it dawned on them… a tag crew of knitters, bombing the inner city with vibrant, stitched works of art, wrapped around everything from beer bottles on easy nights to public monuments and utility poles on more ambitious outings. With a mix of clandestine moves and gangsta rap — Knitta was born! Today, Knitta is a group of ladies of all ages, nationalities, and… gender.
Where to start...? There has to be a group around the Boston (or Southern NH) area for this. If anyone can find information on it, please let me know. I'm not sure how much I could contribute, but I'm willing to try.
About three years ago, I joined Deviant Art (links below). I added a few things, and went back once in a while to check things out and see what some of the artists on there were up to and making.
Here is one of my more favorite pieces:

Go check the site out, and especially people like edlyn. In case you were wondering, yes, I'm dropcase on there too.
