<giggle> Look at the link to the blog! The picture of the "dog" is hilarious.

The location says it all "Montrose." I love visiting there.

Gives me an idea for Boston... that statue of Michael Curley could use a hat for the winter...

I saw a, um, lightpost cozy. Bright pink. On a bridge over the freeway. :D

Candace, I work in the Montrose neighborhood. Are you in Houston too?

I wish! heh. I live in Victoria. But shop in Houston, and use Drs there, and my family is all there. So I visit at least once a month. I go to "Yarns 2 Ewe", its the only shop Ive been to in Houston. Where do you go?

i think it is brilliant! Imagine being a store owner coming in to find that someone has knitted a cozy for their door handle over night...heh


i suppose we are the only ones who would find this in the spirit of "random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty" huh?

That's so fun! Thanks for sharing, Mer

I was just glad that I had read the article and knew what it was! I was driving and probably would have missed it if I hadn't known what I was looking at. I wonder if it's still there? :thinking: Do people take those things? I wonder what you'd do with it?

Candace, I have been to Yarns 2 Ewe most--I think they have the best selection in Houston. Nancy's Knits (Braeswood and Chimney Rock, I think?) has a lot but her shop is kind of crowded and dark. Pretty good prices though. I've also been to Mary Charles Yarn (where I was coming back from when I saw the lightpole!) and Nimblefingers, which have moderate amounts of yarn, mostly pricey ones. Now I just need to venture out to the yarn stores in the suburbs...
