| 2000 and SHINE |
 Welcome into what we are sure will be a STUPENDOUS second year of JOVA.. and we mean that in a (2000 and) great way... In fact lets top what for us was a phenomenal year. We've been hanging out a lot on Twitter, so we thought we'd kick off this year by sharing some of the inspiration and creativity that we find everyday... Tweet!
FOR STARTERS - our favourite story has to be about the GUERIILA KNITTERS called KNITTA - instead of graffiti or stickers, they KNIT their mark around the world... We love it!
"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."
