Dateline New Haven, June 9th 2012: International Yarnbombing Day recognized in the only way possible. We had everything necessary for success.
Even a few raindops, so we could feel valiant as we carried on.

Note the refreshed door handle.
My main contribution? This recycled mitten fella. I like its provenance: the yarn was in this batch, the mitten, a reject from this project. Turning it into a wooly face , instigated by the sidewalk chorus on Saturday after I pointed out the way I was hanging it, unadorned, looked a little....suggestive. (see? I told you I'd have some of my knitting on this post).
Cathy's working on the little heart, knit in the round. Metaphor alert!

If this piques your interest, check out the yarnbombing in Craft Activism. And get going. There're plenty of surfaces left to cover.
I bombed at Yarnbombing. Glad you took up the slack.
ReplyDeleteCool article! Such fun!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun. I want to do my front railing (but probably won't). Thanks for linking to my blog.
ReplyDeleteGah, look at all the pretty colors! Such happiness.
ReplyDeleteYour wooly face guy makes me smile. Especially when I think of what he might have looked like...
