Everyone can participate and/or enjoy the installation by walking through or driving by the plaza. This will be a temporary installation and is commonly called “urban knitting” or “yarn bombing.” It will involve safely and temporarily covering some of the trees in the plaza with knit or crocheted patches of yarn and flowers. See above for examples of other Urban Knitting projects.
Organizers plan to launch the installation on Oct. 6, and it will remain up for 7-10 days.
How you can get involved:
We would love to involve all in the community who would like to participate. If you would like to become involved, please knit or crochet a 12 inch square or rectangle (rectangular pieces should not exceed 12 inches in height.) The color theme is to be reds, yellows and greens. However, if you don’t have those colors – make something anyway! Nothing will be turned away! If you don’t like to knit or crochet – you can also finger crochet the flowers that will also be used in the project. Here, a smooth yarn works better than a furry one. Here is a video that shows you how to make one: How to Finger Crochet a Flower.
