A San Francisco neighborhood's growing menagerie of crochet animals populating the trees has residents talking.
For as long as he can remember, Huib Petersen has been dealing with an all-consuming addiction to creating things out of yarn. It started off innocently enough. Before long, Petersen was hooked.
"The outside world started to become a little more threatening, and I wanted to do something to make that world outside friendlier," Petersen said. "You walk through the street and maybe you're having a hard day and then suddenly there's a crochet opossum looking at you from the tree. That makes the world a little lighter," Petersen said with a laugh.
"It does make you feel like more of an old-fashioned neighborhood in a city where it can be hard to connect with people," said Robyn McGrath, one of Petersen's next-door neighbors.
