Someone is spinning quite a yarn over one American seaside town. An unknown person, dubbed The Midnight Knitter, is covering tree branches and lamp poles with little jumpers under cover of darkness.

Mayor of West Cape May in New Jersey, Pam Kaithern, says police are looking into the guerrilla crocheting, which technically is against the law because it is being done on public property without permission, The Press of Atlantic City reports.

The mayor and many residents admit they're enthralled by the rainbow of colorus that has popped up.

Resident Susan Longacre takes a walk each morning in Wilbraham Park, where several tree branches and light poles have gotten the treatment. She thinks it's great.

Even those who aren't thrilled admit the yarn is better than spray-painted graffiti.

The mobile phone company Vodafone is currently running attempting to create a viral advertising campaign in Ireland "Inspired by the ‘urban knitting’ trend - which originated in USA and is gaining popularity across Europe - and designed to cheer you up on a cold winter’s day."

Seems like a fail http://www.google.ie/#hl=en&q=knitting+vodafone
