Tesco protesters make their point with yarn

Cambridge News Online article titled Knitting Protest at Tesco

Protesters calling themselves 'Get Knitted' have stitched graffitti onto the fence surrounding a new Tesco, the Cambridge News Online reports. The article, Knitting Protest at Tesco, gives details of the action, and if you look further into their archive, you can find more news about this controversial store opening.

The article is an interesting read, and has got us thinking: protests and knitting aren't usually seen hand in hand, but the stitched letters certainly get their message across, and do so in a peaceful way without damaging property – but is it an effective way to protest? Let us know what you think in the comments.
