Erika's Tree Sweater

Tree sweater, Seattle (c) Erika

Back in January, Seattle resident Erika knitted a sweater for a tree in her neighbourhood. Since then it has been shown some respect by someone pruning the tree, got a little ragged and grubby, made a surprise appearance on the front cover of a local listings mag and been stolen... and replaced by Tree Sweater #2, which now has been joined by Tree Denim Miniskirt. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

You can dress your local trees using the free tree sweater pattern Erika's provided.

Other knitters trying to brighten up their neighbourhoods include Knitta ('Warming the world, one car antenna at a time...") who knit graffiti (take a look at some of their tags here), and British textile artist Freddie Robins, who has knitted tree cosies.

Is this related to Knitta perhaps?
