Amazing Olympic bomb!

I saw this article today. I have no idea who did this, but it was a LOT of work. Great job!

We're still here!

Sadly, no bombing has been done since Halloween. If all goes well, there will be something new within a month. Keep looking. You never know what/where it might be.

More press. :)

The local food co-op (http://www.peoplesfoodcoop.com/) mentioned us in their latest newsletter: Co-op shopper The story is at the bottom of page 3. Does anyone know who the mystery pumpkin bomber is? Maybe it's Slip-Knitty, the other "mystery bomber" in town.

Halloween yarn bomb!

I'd been thinking about this bike rack since I first saw it this summer...before it was installed outside. I knew that I would have to bomb it at some point. I mean, LOOK at it!

 I spend a few weeks working on my idea, hoping that it would turn out as I imagined it. I took everything down there earlier today and started with this: 

I did this one next. I had some help with the knitting on this one from a new bomber.

What's Halloween without a jack-o-lantern?

Boo!

Here's a shot of the whole thing. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

The Woolly Walk Along

A while back, I heard about a big yarn bombing project in New Zealand. A knitter calling herself  Knitty Graffity was asking for pieces to put on the railing around the wharf in Auckland for the Rugby World Cup which is being held there.

Here's a link to an article about it: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=10750575

Be sure to watch this video. http://www.localist.co.nz/milfordtakapunadevonport/articles/devonport-wharf-gets-woolly Our piece (black with colored flowers) is first visible at :19. There's a close-up of it not long after. Starting at :41 it's on the screen for about 10 seconds while being sewn onto the pole. Very cool.

You can read more about the project at Knitty Graffity's blog: http://knittygraffity.blogspot.com/
