Celebration Held for Warhol Bridge Yarn Covering

Community groups are holding a public art party to celebrate the covering of Pittsburgh's Andy Warhol Bridge in colorful yarn.

The Knit the Bridge community party will be held Sunday from 3 to 7 p.m. at the bridge, which is downtown at 7th Street. There will be arts and crafts activities, food, music and other events.

The so-called "Yarn Bomb'' involved more than 1,800 knitters who covered the bridge in 3,000 feet of vivid patterns. The term applies to artists who knit coverings for everyday objects like lampposts, street signs and trees.

The bridge will be covered in the yarn until Sept. 6.
