Urban Knitting Theories

Urban Knitting 

1. I will be using the comic frame to show how the movement uses no violence and is relatively harmless
and generally tries to lighten spirits. Even though it is considered graffiti and is illegal in some cases, it
still is interesting to see how nonviolence and beautiful art can get people in trouble.

2. The movement has been known in some cases to use sarcasm. The ladies fancy work society
https://www.ladiesfancyworksociety.com/ employ this very well. They say they have “...been terrorizing
your neighborhood with their garish yarn crimes since 2007.” and then go on to call themselves “diabolical”
and create a urban knitting themed spin on the “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” theme song. They finish by saying
“We’re fun at parties.” 

3. If you google pictures from this movement, you will automatically be hit with a bunch bright colors. The
colors are very important to the movement to make the yarn bombing not only stand out, but represent
beauty, creativity and individuality.  

4. I will use intention to show how the different goals and acts of the movement all connect under the same
cause. Even though there are many different reasons why people yarn bomb, they all have the same
intention of harmlessly raising awareness in a nonviolent way.

5. I think I will use emotional appeal as my fallacy because of the ways Urban knitting tries to elicit good
feelings and improvement of society.
