Hey Y'all,
I'm guessing most (probably ALL) of you know by now about the knit graffiti that went up around town earlier this month as part of Fusebox Festival. Magda Sayeg, aka Knitta Please, was commissioned to do the work, which includes knitted covers for "those weird blue things" at the Lamar underpass. I actually heard a number of people-- not even all of them knitters-- wishing the knitting would stay up. But I've heard it'll be coming down soon, so if you haven't had a chance to go look, check it out before it's gone. There are pictures and more info at this link.
Moving right along... Here's some info about upcoming classes.
