Every tourist wants to buy some kind of souvenir to remember his or her travels forever. Sam Barsky, a Baltimore artist, has come up with the idea to make such souvenirs by himself. Indeed, the man has taken up a rather unusual hobby. To everybody's surprise it is ... knitting. The artist knits sweaters with the landmarks he has visited. And it's worth praising him for not using knitting patterns. He makes the sweaters by eye, so to speak. As a result, the funny knitter's masterpieces have gone viral on social media.

By the way, Sam knits sweaters not only with landmarks, but also with members of the animal kingdom. There doesn't seem to be a theme this man can't knit a sweater on.
