Enjoy this because the concrete ball has gone and so has the Ball Warmer

This week Netherlands-based artist Connie Lene got in touch with HotHive Textiles to show us some pictures of her knitted graffiti, which we couldn’t resist sharing with you. Danish born Connie, who was brought up in New Zealand, has been knitting since the 1950s and when out on a cold winter’s day in her home town of Haarlem, she saw something in much need of one of her warm hats.

Connie explains, “I was wandering around town with my best beloved on a freezing, bitter, bleak and cold day and saw all the magnificent balls lining the side of the Grote Markt (the big town square) of Haarlem. I started viewing my environment with the thought of how could I artistically enhance it however temporarily.”
