Stop Sign Cozy

Warmth at last for these new cold fall nights. Poor thing, standing out in the elements so long. Certainly a little material comfort is welcome while on duty.

This wonderful Knitta cozy appeared a couple weeks ago at 20th & Jefferson, and it's a swell piece. Tonally appropriate, the green works well with the red/white stripey post and now-classic logo design; not to mention the grass below. Note especially, the piece is held on with little ties (traditionally zip-ties) that are actually knitted in and knotted! Just lovely. Here's hopes that it lasts the entire season.

The White Knitta

Spotted on Pike Street, Capitol Hill, this graceful Knitta work adorns a bus schedule sign in front of the Cha Cha bar. More sophisticated than the previous pieces posted here, the rolled collar and slouchy fit are a nice counterpoint to the hard gray steel and right angles. The red accent stitching balances the white/gray tones and livens the piece up considerably. The placement at a bus stop improves chances that it will be seen by many. Let's hope it'll survive the demolition of the entire block as developers make way for a retail/condo edifice.

The rumors are true, there's a Knitta piece in Ballard right in front of the guitar shop on B'lard Ave. Looks like its (ahem) cut from the same cloth as the Capitol Hill piece... or at least knit from the same yarn. Have not seen nor heard of any new pieces recently, so perhaps the local knitta cell has gone back into sleeper mode, napping and knitting, waiting to strike again...

Knitta Mountain

Summit and Pine, this sign received its first bomb-tastic sweater recently. Clearly the work of the notorious clandestine Knitta knetwork, that loose affiliation of underground art terrorists; the local Seattle cell has obviously be onna move recently as rumors of another strike in Ballard are floating about (link to post). Meanwhile, there are perhaps more out there...but to find them we'll need your help. Anyone seeing the work of these dangerous knittorists should report all sightings immediately.
