Yarnstorming 1.01 From Boston to Berlin, and all spaces in between, graffiti knitters reclaim public spaces in dire need of warmth, color, and texture through yarnstorm- ing. Door knobs, bike racks, statues, and all sorts of stationary objects know no peace when the click-clack of knitting needles is near. The exhibit takes place this weekend at the Nave Gallery, Clarendon Hill Presbyterian Church, 155 Pow- derhouse Blvd., Somerville.
