“Midnight knitter” pulls wool over town Someone is spinning quite a yarn over one New Jersey shore town.

An unknown person dubbed The Midnight Knitter by West Cape May residents is covering tree branches and lamp poles with little sweaters under cover of darkness.

Mayor Pam Kaithern says police are looking into the guerrilla needlework, which technically is against the law because it is being done on public property without permission.

The mayor and many residents admit they're enthralled by the rainbow of colors that has popped up.

Resident Susan Longacre takes a walk each morning in Wilbraham Park, where several tree branches and light poles have gotten the treatment. She thinks it's great.

Even those who aren't thrilled admit the yarn is better than spray-painted graffiti.

I never seen a tree dressed in cloths and i think that will be a cool thing to do if it could bring peace to the country and people who very much have this amazing design of talent.

Wow, that's really funny. I think the yarn looks pretty, and I do agree with the people who think that it is way better than graffiti everywhere. Unfortunately, the knitter is yarning public property without any permission, so this is a bad thing. I wonder if the knitter is an old woman?

That is a much better than putting graffiti everywhere. I am sure it looks really nice and that the city looks much brighter. It is actually a kind of cool idea.

I think that is really weird. If it is some teenager just goofing off I think there should be a stop put to it. If it is an older women or man doing this then I think they should be allowed because it looks nice and it proably mkes them happy.
