Yet another thing I didn't knoe.

This evening a friend and I went across the street to Headwaters Park to enjoy the free performances at the Middle Waves Festival.  It was fun and I enjoyed the bands I heard. I liked "Sad Gravity" for the name but the best I heard was "Bodega," a group from New York City.  I knew there were also supposed to be some exhibits of visual arts but what I didn't know was that this included examples of knitting and crocheting displayed in remarkably untraditional ways.  Everywhere we walked, as we moved from one stage area to another, we saw trees with their trunks wrapped in crocheted blankets. Some of these were wraps of solid colors but many included lots of colors, a variety of stitches and fancy granny squares.  There were also knitted covers draped on the backs, seats, and arm rests of park benches.  It was all very festive in a down home, middle America kind of way.
