More on the Sweater Poles

The local paper ran a story complete with photos on the street pole sweater project. Of course, there are stats, because without numbers... well, the worth of a thing can't be justified without numbers, can it? (All right, math rant is over.) So "what began with 20 knitters quickly spun into 100..." and we knitted up 14,000 yards of wool and wool blends. Well, that does sound somewhat impressive. It was interesting to read that some people thought we should have knitted things for charity instead of contributing to a public art project. Alas! Poor knitting, forever consigned to be a lowly craft and not a fine art. For complete story: http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20100910/ARTICLES/100919939
