Magda Sayeg: Knits the World!

A few weeks ago I read an article in American Lifestyle Magazine about Magda Sayeg, an artist who knits and covers all sorts of things with her creations. She knit over an entire bus, sculptures, trees...you name it. I do not knit, however I do love knit/crochet products.
This past week I was in Chicago and walking past the Sears Tower I noticed that in the large planters outside the building there was a display of knit objects. The small city tress planted in front also had knit "sleeves" on them. What a fun form of art! It made the city street so inviting and cheery!
Below are a couple of pictures I took in Chicago as well as some of the artist's work seen around the world. I also thought it would be fun to find inspiring gifts that are knitted over:)
