Someone in my lovely hometown of Norfolk, VA was doing a little knit-fiti, but it mysteriously disappeared. Rumor has it some city official removed them....not all cities are as cool as others.

You know what I was thinking when ap took the photo? What the heck am I doing up in this tree.

Yep, we had fun doing it, but my I am astonished at the press about it.
If you want to see a slide show or info about it, visit our website (non commercial) www.jafagirlart.com

Glad people got a kick out of it.
