A bundled-up Terri Agee sews another knit tree sweater onto a tree as art adds color to the birch forest outside the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center on Friday, February 6, 2015, downtown. Anchorage Guerrilla Knitters led by Barbara Brown knit and solicited knit rectangles to attach to trees as public art during the First Friday event. More than 150 pieces were collected. "We're going to run out of trees before we run out of sweaters!," she said. Brown saw the knit graffiti art, known as yarn bombing or yarn storming, in Berlin and thought it could be done here. "Look how colorful the trees are!," marveled Agee.
