Yarn Bombing!



This picture was taken by one of my BFFs, Amanda, at a yarn bombing effort in Atlanta, GA. Her contribution is the pink stripey block on the bench you see here. I have seen some really awesome yarn bombing stuff online lately, including people who have covered entire vehicles and statues, and I find myself rather jealous that as crafty as I am, I can not knit or crochet all that well, so don't get to participate in fun little events like this.

Most recently, I saw an entire row of bike stands here in Portland covered in their own colorful yarn cozies! Have you seen or participated in any yarn bombing in your city/town? Do you do some other craft that you share with the world? Sidewalk chalk art? Small postcard or business card art left on pin boards? I just started a Flickr group where you can post your favorite public art and craft photos here.

  1. I just saw a fantastic yarnbomb yesterday on a bike rack outside of Common Grounds on Hawthorne (42nd-ish) -- wish I had taken a picture, but it's worth checking out if you're in the 'hood!
