Yarn bombings and other events





Been reading about yarn bombings and started thinking. Yes, that's always a dangerous occupation for me. Never know where it will lead.


Yarn bombings are events that happen world-wide to decorate the public areas of our worlds. York, PA has decorated parking meters, larger cities have statues wearing colored socks. London, England even had a 'bombed double-decker bus that is really colorful. It's not destructive and is actually entertaining. Sometimes folks decorate a tree branch, a doorknob, or other small objects.





So I started thinking.....hmmmm....hmmmm some more. And I came up with an idea. I'm not revealing the final goal but here are some pics of the start. We have a couple of baskets of yarn on the table and would appreciate the donation of time to knit a couple of rows. We have 13" knit so far and need 72" (does that sound better than 6ft?). So stop in and help our group effort. Maybe even be part of the reveal!













Won't you help us out? We have lots of yarns to choose from and you can knit whatever stitch you would like - gartr, stockinette, seed, do some k2tog and yo's, half linen. The choice is yours.
