The iKnit Sebastopol team finished installing the wraps in the town square and has extended the project to some of the trees in front of a few local businesses. The general public has reacted in a very positive way to iKnit Sebastopol and we have continued to receive a steady stream of knitted wraps over the last few weeks.The covered light posts look wonderfully warm and cozy as the weather changes and we usher in the Autumn season. Wraps have been made by many members in our community with the youngest contributor being only nine years old. Overall, the iKnit Sebastopol team couldn't be happier with the outcome of this project. However, the other day we went to check on the light posts and install a few extra wraps on some trees when I noticed that not all of the light posts were covered. On closer inspection it was found that six of the wraps had been stolen off of the light posts! One had been clipped apart and left hanging off of the pole and had to be removed. The iKnit Sebastopol team is shocked and concerned about the fate of the future of our project. The knitting in the Sebastopol town square is a public art project and we ask the public to leave it on the poles. If you have the knitting or know anything about its whereabouts please drop it off at Tamberlane in Sebastopol, no questions asked. Also, please remember that these wraps will be donated to the Humane Society after the project is over.
