That is crocheted, not knit.

There’s a Walgreens near me with carts whose wheels lock like that but only if you try to take them out of the parking lot. You can take them out of the store, you just can’t waltz down the street with them.

I agree, the crazy camo colors make it look like one of hers…that also means that Noelegy is right and that this is crochet, not knitting.

Not to mention those collapsible carts are hard to find if you can’t get one online. I was asking around on how to find one for a *year* before I found someone who actually bought their cart themselves and could tell me where to get one. Everyone else I talked to had gotten theirs as a gift or in a yard sale or something.

I never actually wonder why carts are in weird places around where I live. We have a serious lack of public transportation and if you have no car and can’t afford a taxi it would honestly be the only logical choice if you had to carry a huge amount of groceries and couldn’t afford one of those collapsible carts. :/

I think that cart must have been done by Agata Olek, I saw another installation she did on another website a year or so ago and looked her up:

It’s worth checking out.

Pretty sure that’s crochet, not knitting, on that second basket.

I lived at apartment complex once a long time ago, that was near a grocery store. I’d often watch people literally pushing their carts up the hill back to their house, than they would leave the cart in the parking lot of the complex.

This story reminded me of that…

Really though? Do you have to bring a small army with just to help haul your items to your car? Maybe I’m from the other side of the moon, but I did not know that there were shopping carts designed to not leave the store. Truly curious here!

And the last lines of the chorus explain how that cart could be found 2 miles from its home: “Once in a lifetime, Water flowing underground.”

That’s right, Harriet Tubman smuggled the cart to Target!

And you may find yourself sitting in a Walmart rack
And you may find yourself in another part of Ypsilanti
And you may find yourself beside the wall of a large Target store
And you may find yourself by a hideous sign, with purple chalk arrows
And you may ask yourself-Well…How did I get here?
