Someone placed free handmade scarves in Tompkins Square Park



Goggla spotted these this morning by the entrance on Avenue B at East Eighth Street...



The tags on the scarves read:

I am not LOST!
I was made with you in mind.
I am yours to keep.
Stay warm with my hugs!

    Oooo:
    Everybody make art and hang it from the fence with a "take me home" sign on it!!!
    Any particular side of the park we should hang it on? Ideas, people?

      Doesn't take much to learn, crochet is the easiest for scarves, check out some turotials on YouTube ^_^

    Have these been tested for anthrax? Or bedbugs? Cause they're nice-looking, but ...

    Oh sure, when I wrote that they might be laced with small pox, that comment goes to the trash, but when CHurt writes that it might have anthrax, that gets posted. I guess some toxins are favored over others.

    Small Pox must have tripped the sensors!

    Cool! Socks are a good idea too, I can not knit, but I am a great bargain hunter. I love that someone did this, I am a warm and fuzzy .
