I knit a wee something for the
"Coat for a Boat" art project, in my home town. A telescope. Here's Matt, modelling the finished article.....

I love his little sly peek to see if I'm still photographing him.

This was knit in Lion Brand Glitterspun. The insert to keep it tube-like is a paper towel cardboard innerd. Cut down the middle and rolled on an angle.
The boys were fascinated while I was making this. I have another ball and a half, so, if I can find the scrap of paper I noted my stitch count on, I may make them some of their own.
:0)
p.s. note the wet ground. In the summer, it really rains here in Florida. Rains hard.

So cool! I'll bet that would make a great baseball bat too....that's how the cardboard tubes end up in our house...hee hee.
OMG! HOw cool is that! You definitely need to make another one!
That is brilliant!
I am so fond of the use of knitting to reconstruct what would normally be made out of hard materials.
Well done :D
Very cool! Send some rain my way, please.
WOW Disco! Alot going on for you these past months! The telescope is too cool! Glad you found a place that works for you guys-the pub sounds like a real plus!
The telescope is so cool--it must have been hard to pry it out of their hands!
