Water Tower Crochet Cozy

[MsCleo55]

Just think of the clothing that could be made from all that yarn....I am sure it would cloth many in need.

It was however a strange project!

@MsCleo55 In fact, the water tower cozy was disassembled after its time on the water tower and turned into blankets for the homeless, distributed through Warm Up America! Foundation.

@LionBrandYarn I was told that after I sent in the note..I am happy to see that it is all put to good use.

I do wish this video included a still photo of the completed project in good lighting.

I love this project. I only wish I had been a part of it.

Thanks for being so crazy to accomplish this

Only a truly insane crocheter could actually do this!!!

Love it !

And some people claim that crochet doesn't have much drape.

Boy, there are certainly some angry people in this world- calm down haters. This was a fun project to put on one of the thousands of towers in the city- way to add some interest to the skyline. Good that the blankets are being made. And Robyn is simply a nice person.

Good job editing the film, too.

Just looked...it's hard to find D&AD's video...

To see it, search "Make It a Pencil New York".

Or you can find D&AD's channel by searching "D&AD Awards."

The project was actually done by an advertising agency called TAXI for the D&AD as a way to promote the D&AD's awards show.

Their video can be found on the D&AD's youtube channel. Would recommend checking it out. Would post the link, but you can't post links in these youtube comments. Since this is my first post, I haven't figured out a way around it yet.

And freya - now that the project is complete, the plan is to take all the material and convert it into blankets for those less fortunate :)

What was the point of doing this?.......

[TribeDoktor]

Wow...Lion Bran is in on viral marketing now? How lame...

[crazychaoticcool]

This wasn't totally for Lion Brand. It was mainly done for D&AD. It just happened to be done with Lion Brand's yarn.

I Love Lion Brand products, but i have to say, that in this year of ice and snow, how much better to have put that material to good use; making sweaters or blankets for those less fortunate.

To me, this counts with that daffy woman who crocheted a cozy around a derelict gas station. A total waste of valuable material and time.

I don't think so! As an artist, Robyn does a lot of worthwhile projects for the community! Her House Museum in Newfoundland is one of them.

It wasn't a waste of time and materials. After they took the cozy down, the disassembled it to make blankets for the homeless.
