I like the idea of the everyday landscape having art/craft added to it, but this also seems a little like littering mixed with self-indulgent cuteness.

And the knitted sculpture is great. The only other place I've seen knit sculpture is in the book "Wild Knitting". I love it! I love the scarf that’s wrapped on the telephone pole.
