How much of a coincidence is this? A day shy of two years ago I blogged about some people calling my blog a "Pinto." Rather than dwell on the negative, I took the comment, applied fiber and wha-la -- I had compiled a list of fabulous projects people created with their rides. Take a look: Three weeks later I had found a tank getting into the fiber applique action. (Also in that entry I made mention of an overturned tractor trailer that was hauling some 50,000 POUNDS of yarn!)
The only thing missing from the fiber + automobile equation was a gas station. Jennifer Marsh, seeing the void and wanting people to be able to express their concerns about oil dependency, created the "World Reclamation Art Project," collecting works from crocheters, knitters, and the like from around the world. In the end, they were able to cover an abandoned gas station, located in Syracuse, NY. For more information, including pictures, click here.

PS If yarn could be converted into fuel, would you part with crocheting or the car?
Where did you find the picture of the motorcyle? I ride a Harley and I would love to find that picture!
