Wednesday night was the Montague Street installation of the 69 Meters project, where 50 knitters from as far away as South America, knit colorful sleeves to adorn and enliven the 69 parking meters that run down Montague Street in Brooklyn heights. Organized by Magda of the knitting street graffiti crew Knitta Please! and the Montague Street BID, 15 or so volunteers installed the knitted pieces.

It really was so rewarding being a part of this project! With so many friends participating, and the supportive reaction from the public, i was so proud i learned how to knit for this!
