Don't see this mentioned on the uktc archive and believe you all really need
one of these!
I expect knitting to become a key component of arboriculture courses in
future!
Tree Cozy is a tree - a natural object representing masculinity and strength
-covered with a crocheted cozy - an emphatically handmade blanket
representing femininity and comfort. On the most obvious level, it is a
piece of clothing, personifying the tree and keeping it cozy and colorful
throughout the year, enhancing the beauty of nature. On another, the
brightly colored crocheted cozy wraps the tree in personal and cultural
nostalgia evoking memories of bygone times and places when life was good. On
yet another level, the cozy softens the strong tree form while also
emphasizing it. It simultaneously caresses and encases the tree. The cozy
covering the tree fluctuates between comforting blanket and suffocating
cover-up; it conceals as much as it protects; it hides as much as it
reveals. Tree Cozy was on display from 2005 through 2008 in Cleveland
Heights, OH in front of Cleveland Heights City Hall.
