The
"Mad Crocheter" of Christopher Street strikes again.
I
first noticed something was going on last fall when I went down to get my
coffee fix at McNulty's.
Someone
had crocheted cozies for three of the trees on a stretch of the street.
Apparently
it's called "yarn bombing."
They
were quite adorable and at the time I wondered if someone was worried that the
trees might be cold.
But
when they remained throughout the summer I started to get concerned.
Now
they have been joined by a multitude of others on the street.
And
while I love their creativity, and the fact that they are color coordinated
with the buildings they adorn,
I hope
that they will come down this summer to give the trees a chance to breathe
again.
And I
suspect that if they don't, someone will call 311. It is New York after all. ;-)
Cheers!
