The Bridge
In the photo immediately above, you can actually see where some vandalism took place. An entire afghan was torn from the bridge, damaging the attached pieces as well as leaving a gaping hole. (This was not the only afghan removed, either.) Volunteers repaired the injury by rearranging other pieces to fill the gaps. Shortly after that, the City organized night security around the bridge, so that no more pieces would be removed or destroyed.
The damage is more evident in this photo, especially on the burgundy panel at right:

My Contribution
Many of my panels did not make it onto the bridge. Those are the ones I trusted to a third party to submit for me. I have no idea what happened there. They just got misplaced along the way, I guess. However, two panels I submitted myself on Worldwide Knit in Public Day did make it onto the bridge, and you can see them right here.
The blue and brown one actually had a "right side" and a "wrong side", and it's being displayed wrong side out. The other panel looks the same from either side. You can just about see the 'X' pattern of the variegated yarn I held throughout while adding other colours to make stripes.

That is just so cool! I love the concept of 'yarn bombing' and how you can be part of something amazing like that, with just one or two knitted squares.
We've discussed doing it here, and this is the perfect inspiration.
I have never seen anything like this in my life, Karen. It reminds me of something the artist Christo might do if he were a knitter. :) I'm sure you were thrilled to be a part of this, even if wrong side out!
This is amazing! Thanks!
