Wow, isn’t this piece a beauty? The amazing KC Dyer sent it our way via this link: http://twitpic.com/80o7r. I’d love to see more work by these artists in Boston. A bit of internet sleuthing makes me think it is the South End Knitters whose work can be seen here:

Note, the Boston Globe article says that the skull is out of glow-in-the-dark wool!

Last week I mentioned that we’d be giving away two tickets to the Vancouver showing of Handmade Nation, a craft documentary that will be in Vancouver on July 9th. Our publisher Arsenal Pulp Press will be posting a guest post by us on their blog tomorrow (July 6th) – be sure to check it in order to win! I’ve been waiting to see this documentary for over a year, and I just know that it is going to be amazing. Knitta even has an appearance.

Mini buttons!

Mandy and I had a great time at Fibres West. We met a lot of great people and came home with more wool than we arrived with. There were spinners, there were llamas, and there were a whole bunch of people who seemed really receptive to yarn graffiti. It was a fun day.

For the event, our publisher helped us make some snazzy mini buttons. We have three slogans:

‘Yarn Bomber’
‘I love subversive crochet’
‘I love guerrilla knitting’

I have about ten complete sets left which I’m giving away to the first ten people to comment and leave us a link to a piece of yarn graffiti!
