Theresa Honeywell - a photoset on Flickr
I don’t quite get the art of covering objects with knit fabrics, but I can certainly appreciate the work involved.
Theresa Honeywell is tougher than you. Her work reflects her interests in the “manly arts” with a feminine twist. What motorcycle or jackhammer wouldn’t want to be knitted into infamy?

Treehugger: The Power of One Solar Car Project
Cool project. Now if it’s just help me commute to work on the cheap.
