Stealth knitters hold “T” party protest

May 31, 2010 8:48 am by Frances Dinkelspiel

The stealth knitters who covered the “T” in the Here/There sculpture on the Berkeley-Oakland border held a T/tea party of sorts this weekend. They were protesting the city of Berkeley’s declaration that they must take down the tea cozy cover they put up over the “T,” changing the public art installation to read Here-Here. Sweet Adeline Bakery provided the desserts.

    Hilarious!

    This is funny on so many levels! Even the knit picking by the City of Berkeley is funny.

    This is one of those brilliant ideas that doesn’t come up often enough, where every day it gets funnier.

    I actually like the “Here There” sculpture, but I have to say I like it more with the T cozy. I still feel Gertrude Stein would have approved. Here is no There, Here.
