Cozy as a Bug in a Rug...
    Roughly 7 miles of Lion Brand Yarn was used to knit a cozy/sweater for a Volkswagen Beetle. 

The team of knitters from the Houston Center For Contemporary Art was lead by Frances Trotter the resident fiber artist at the center. The knitting project started in early April of 2005 and is scheduled to be completed in time for the annual "Art Car Weekend" and "Art Car Parade", which runs from May 13-15, 2005 in Houston Texas.

The parade is Saturday, May 14, 2005

So many of you have written, asking for special patterns to make for the Red Hat Society meeting "The Big Deal 2005" that's happening in Las Vegas, Nevada June 24 - 29, 2005 that we've developed several patterns in special colorways for our readers with serious 'hattitude.'

Helpful hint:  to get an intense purple in Fun Fur, work with one strand of 109 sapphire and one strand of 191 purple.
