Colorful Bike Rack

A few steps from Saul's Deli there is a metallic bike rack which I pass every time I walk to and from campus.  One day I noticed that it was covered in yarn, like a sock over a foot:




Where did this come from? When was it put there? Recently I noticed half of the yarn is gone:


On the yarn I found a label with a URL:


From the label I learned that the anonymous artist, named Streetcolor, is maintaining a blog where she (that's my guess -- would a guy do this?) documents all of her creations, called yarn bombs. Scroll down that blog to the entry for March 14th to find her writing about the yarnbomb I saw.
