Knitter’s ingenious way of touring the world

Sam is on his way to “Wool the World”

Sam Barsky, Baltimore, knits sweaters of places and then takes selfies standing in front of the places.

Some sweaters [‘jumpers’ in England] are of well-known places: Stonehenge, Tower Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge, Times Square, Manhattan skyline, Niagara Falls.

Other sweaters, more up our alley, are of less-well-known places: smaller waterfalls, pylons in fields, two-lane highways, pumpkins on front lawn.

This is a great example of safe excitement, excitement that’s suitable for us dull men.

Sam has knitted over 100 of these sweaters.
