Recyclart found this great photo on Flickr by StartTheDay showing a Smart car standing out from the crowd in Rome. The photographer states, "Admiring the architecture in Rome we came across this Smart car which had been decorated with a natty, crocheted cover! Never seen anything like this before! " Neither have we -- but we've seen some amazing crocheted and knitted things before. From coral reefs to chicken sweaters, check them out after the jump.The Smart car cover reminds us of another surprising vehicle cozy knitted up a few years ago.

Ana Voog. I shall never complain that I am too busy after discovering Ana Voog. Performance artist, writer, musician, blogger and crochet goddess; Voog still finds time to crochet some of the most original and sassy hats I’ve ever seen. Ana’s sophisticated and colorful creations bear witness to an evolving, experimental approach to her art: extending the notion of pure artistic practice to the simple and humble medium of crochet. Ana claims “I do not knit, I freeform crochet” and her yarn fuelled improvisations brings life and movement to her hat designs (or lack of design should that be?). Some hats grow out of the crown of the head and spurt down the body like the bright orange “Pumpkin Jellyfish hat”. Going beyond standard threads and wool, Ana indulges in a diverse pool of textiles like recycled yarn, flax, toys, copper wire - even poodle fur! Belle Hann is a Sydney based freelance writer.
