I arrived a little early in Exeter to teach at To Your Art’s Content, hosted by Eclectic Paperie. It was such a pleasant little joy when I noticed a few posts and trees had been yarn bombed. As a designer, I’ve heard of other designer friends that work in fabrics and textiles talk about participating in one, but I had never seen one in person. Some were so very creative. I can only imagine that the group of knitters who came out to dress the town with their works must have had a really great time.
Hope you enjoyed my little show & tell. Have you seen a yarn bomb in person? Have you participated in one? Please link up and let me know if you have.
PS. I am trying to learn how to blog on the road. I’m so pleased with myself as all these photos were taken with my IPhone and the blog post was written with my IPad as I was eating breakfast at the Hampton Inn. Do you have any tips for blogging on the go?
I did, however, wonder how the fundraising on this worked. It’s a great idea.
We yarnbomb here a lot. If you use acrylic yarns it does stretch, but it’s otherwise fine. they do tend to fade over time, however.
I’ve seen them here in the Seattle, WA area. It rains a lot here, so apparently it’s not a problem! They really are fun and even my kids like to point them out.
Good information to have, Angie. Thanks for sharing that!
No tips…I need some! Leaving for Europe tomorrow! I’ve never seen an yard bombing! SO COOL!!! So much work…WOW! I’m so impressed!
Have a wonderful time in Europe. That is on my bucket list. Hopefully someday soon. Can’t wait to see your pictures.
I just simply love it!
Thank you, Grace. It was so much fun to see in person and read all the tags.
That’s really cute! What happens when it rains? Does it wreck it? I’m glad to see that you’re having fun on the road! 🙂
I keep wondering the same thing, Kate. I especially wonder since I’d love to see one down in Florida area, but not sure how it would hold up to the heat and humidity. I’m also not sure how long these things usually stay up. Hmm, might need to ask some knitting friends of mine who I know have participated in some.
