At Middle Country Public Library in Centereach, N.Y., volunteers are yarn-bombing trees with thousands of crocheted circles created earlier in the year through the “Crochet It!” community project.
​​
Artist Carol Hummel offered instructional workshops in June, and Centereach Adult Services made “Crochet It!” kits available, complete with all needed materials.

Hummel returned in September for the yarn-bombing installations, which began Sept. 9 and was planned to continue through Sept. 22.

The project attracted Newsday coverage that includes several photographs and brief write-up by Thomas A. Ferrara. According to the article, approximately 200 people contributed crocheted circles.
