Magda Sayed and her team of merry knitters—collectively known as Knitta Please—are back in the city. Over the past year they visited to add colorful, knitted adornments to Brooklyn Heights and the Standard Hotel. This time around they're getting even craftier, NYC the Tumblr spotted this knitted bicycle!
Sayed has allegedly been in town all week, if you spot some of her work, send us your photos or tag them with "Gothamist" on Flickr! This one was spotted on Elizabeth Street just south of Broome.
