Three cheers for Janna and her fuzzy parking meter!

Installed at the corner of Main and Hastings, Jana used her own handspun, hand dyed Merino wool.
She says: I was a little nervous at first and then surprised when the city worker just got out, swept around me and proceeded to explain that he often gets asked what the strangest thing he’s ever seen on the job is. Apparently this is it.
Too funny. For those who do not know Vancouver, Main and Hastings is a pretty lively intersection – so it delights me to think that yarn graffiti seems unusual. Janna works in social work in the neighbourhood, so its nice to think that her handmade piece is bringing a bit of cheer to those in the area. I particularly like the ruffle around the top!
