These wonderful coral pieces from Janice, who describes them:
”The pieces are all crocheted hyperbolic planes, and are done to be like different corals. One even has a glow in the dark jelly yarn edging.”
First one on a lamp post beside lower field, second one on a railing attached to the stairs that go to nowhere.
The only heart left, I checked. Still in great condition, probably thanks to the high acrylic content of the wool. I haven’t actually checked on the one in the music basement corridor. But I love the idea of people taking these and wandering around somewhere with them.
This bike is now abandoned as useless, too much bother for its owner to wheel away, and no concern or responsibility of anyone else. It will probably only get in peoples’ way and cause frustration taking up prime parking space near the Y intersection. But the woolstorm might alleviate that.
Little storms around McGill, Valentine’s Day.

➜ Knitting Tate Britain
Knit the City is quite inspirational and they’ve certainly hit the big time when the Tate invites them in, but I don’t like their tagging system. The paper signatures stand out in a way that detracts and is overtly advertising and possessive. The knitting is innovative, but they’re still using images from other people’s street art and putting it in a museum and thereby making it art, and the original artists never had that opportunity to do that on their own terms.
