--- Quote from: pinkgrrlygeek on 15 May 2007, 05:53 ---My knitting group has vague "someday" plans to knitaffiti all the statues in the park. We're going to make gloves, scarves, and legwarmers. It was supposed to be for last year on Labor Day (1st Monday in September) but it hasn't happened yet. Thanks for reminding me!

AWESOME IDEA! Yes, there must be pictures. If I did hypothetically knitaffiti any statue, I think I'd do this one:



Any ideas? What would you do?

(FYI: It's a statue of Brigham Young, which has nothing to do with the motivation, which is that the statue is located smack dab in the middle of Salt Lake City. I wouldn't knit anything offensive to put on him, probably just a hat or scarf or something. Too bad his legs aren't up - he'd look fantastic with leg warmers.)

I would put legwarmers on the horse. And a scarf. I'd just cover them both in anything I could, really.

The cone is pretty much never taken off. I don't think they even bother any more. If they do, it is replaced within 24 hours.

Oh! Great idea! You could make the horse earwarmers!! In some mad bright colour! Pink probably! No green or blue. :P

quietfox:
My day just became worth it. That cone is HILARIOUS.

Lines:
That cone is amazing.

quietfox, I say you should knit the guy a hat with some awesome ear flaps. And make it a very bright color, so it's easily seen. You can always make leg warmers for the two on the bottom. ^_^

thehoopiestfrood:
Sometimes they put a cone on the horse as well. That is the best. It never fails to make me smile when I see the cone.
