Knitting Life
How AMAZING is this bus in Mexico City? It’s just one of the countless projects that Magda Sayeg has worked on as the founder of KnittaPlease. Her “crew” travels the world wrapping the most mundane of objects in beautiful knitted patterns. She just got back from Paris, so I can’t wait to see what they cooked up there. In the meantime, check out their incredible online gallery!* {thanks, Magda!}
* note: gallery best viewed with safari…a new website is coming soon!
And little did I know – until I read the recent Post article, Baltimore’s Unique Charms – that Baltimore has it’s own knitted tree! I was in Hampden over the weekend, and, for the first time ever I spotted this great tree with its multi-colored sweater outside outside of Lovely Yarns. It all just makes me smile. And, I think I may get to take my first knitting class ever when I’m down in Charleston next week. Hurrah!

That is fantastic. It has all the same charm and quirkiness of late 90s AdBusting – but without the potential pretentiousness.
I love it.

Makes me smile too. We had some put up in my neighborhood a few years back (see: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=logan+square+knit). The ones on the bike rack are still there, but they get to look a bit ratty over time.

Gotta love anything knitted. Anne check out this, which I just found on Etsy (it was in the pink featured items tonight). Vespa and VW bus! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=fp_feat_12&listing_id=20760598
Oh man, I love it

That is amazing!! I can’t imagine how long it took to cover that bus…but it makes me want to cover everything.
