Whew! Your winter must really have been miserable when even the lamp posts have sweaters!

Was this the project of a group of textile artists? I've seen pictures of trees in knitted wraps.

Yarn bombing!! Although I think you call it something else there. Saturday is International Yarn Bombing Day, by the way.

I have a lovely pattern for a baby's cap, sugar, that needs doing. Do you think your pals there might help me out? ;~) xoxoxoo

In an unusual move, Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld previewed his spring designs, sending his slimmest runway models to strut the streets of Norwich.

Speedway, our winter was okay; it's been our spring and summer that have been cold, wet and miserable; it's still cold enough for the lamp posts to need sweaters.

Robyn I think they call it yarn-bombing over here, too (though Shiela will know for sure). I'll have to take a walk on Saturday and see what else gets bombed.

Savannah, they'd probably knit it the same shape as these lamp-post-cozies, so it might not fit.
xoxoxoxo

Speedway, these lamp posts are far too fat to be fashion models. Sheesh! Just look at those hips!

Every pole needs a sweater.

Petrea Burchard said...

Hmm. I suppose folks need something to do.

Ms M said...

They're doing yarn bombing here, too. I guess people feel the need for the warm and fuzzy side of art.

dive said...

Neetzy, so they tell me.

Petrea, I can think of worse ways of spending the time … but also quite a few better ones.

Yes, Ms.M. I suppose it's better than graffiti. And biodegradable, too!

Yarn Bombing? That's what it's called? I just thought someone had a lot of spare time and was knitting pole cozies.

dive said...

I like it. It's a lot more creative than graffiti.
