If you're an object without a knit, well, you are doing it wrong. Seriously, what isn't getting knit these days? Back in 2009 the crafty Knitta Please crew adorned parking meters in Brooklyn Heights with some colorful custom pieces, then Olek raised the bar with some knit bikes, and more recently outdid herself by creating a custom knit for the Wall Street bull. While this latest project isn't nearly as ambitious, it is adorable: someone has given the trees in South Slope little tree sweaters!
So cute, but still, we must look forward, and we've got to be entering a post-knit phase soon. So what will the thing placed on a thing thing be, friendship bracelets? Dream catchers? [via IMBY]
