Knitted Bollards

Efe, Valencia
August 12, 2011

In the heart of the town of Carmen, along the square "Negrito", 10 bollards are protected from the heat as perfectly covered with cheerful colors.

These bollards,  decorative metal posts used to control pedestrian and vehicular traffic,  have  recently been decorated with  colorful crochet covers.  This idea came from a group of Valencian weavers and knitters belonging to the Urban Knitting Association. Although there are diverse opinions as to the decoration of the bollards, the crochet covers certainly add color to the streets of the old town of Valencia.
