Some Powerful Knitting

Sometimes, I just stumble upon the most random things. This is one of artist Dave Cole's large projects, using excavators and 20 foot knitting needles to create an American flag. Most of his art is built around knitting with all sorts of strange materials. For example, a gigantic teddy bear using fiberglass insulation, a baby blanket composed of spun ceramic, and a cap made of steel wool. Personally, my hands get a little testy after prolonged knitting with acrylic yarn... I'm not sure how he handles this stuff.
