A partially completed knitted sweater in dark green yarn is being tried on by the knitter. The picture shows the left sleeve, which is split down the top with a metal zipper inserted and held in by safety pins. The mock turtleneck is complete, and the body ends slightly below the bust.

A dark green knit sweater that is currently in progress with the shoulders, the mock turtleneck, and most of one sleeve complete. The sweater project is on top of a brown sweater to check the size. Both sweaters are on a wood floor, with chair legs and the feet of the person taking the picture in the background.

Screenshot of a post by the Ontario Provincial Police - East Region that says: "The OPP does not condone or facilitate roadway or highway rolling blocks or slow-downs. While the OPP fully respects the rights of Canadians to participate in lawful, peaceful and safe demonstrations, slow-moving traffic resulting from a protest on a major highway can result in serious collisions and is a danger to the public. Slow-rolling traffic on the highway is also illegal under the Criminal Code and Highway Traffic Act."
