The World Cup has certainly left its mark on South Africa as projects all over the country work towards making life better for those in need after the football frenzy turned the spotlight on troubled areas. Highlighting the move towards peace a little bit of yarnstorming joins the movement on the city streets.
Smuts Avenue, set between Zoo Lake and the Goethe Institute, has been host to a little peace-flavoured guerrilla knitting in the wake of the World Cup. The pieces cheerfully sit there smiling out at the city stitchingly and giving out good messages in several of the country's official languages.
A noble bit of yarn art to highlight the fact that there's a hopeful and optimistic feel in the South African air even after the sound of the vuvuzelas has faded. Lovely.
