The Love Armor Humvee cozy.

I saw this exhibit at the Ice Box Project Space in Philly last month. It was incredible. The highlight was a giant knitted cover for a humvee. Like a beer cozy for a war vehicle. It's suspended in mid-air. The workmanship is beautiful. It's knitted using a thick cotton string. There was also a video describing how it was engineered, knitted and assembled by over 70 artists, many of whom are women with husbands or children fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
