Thanks to everyone who joined me for the Stitch and Bitch at the Davie Street Book Warehouse last week. It was fun to knit and chat on a rainy night. We made a bunch of tags that will be going up around the city and I’ll be sure to post photographs.
This week I was sent some snapshots by two friends. First, my friend Kat (aka the thrifty and crafty Junior Deluxe) visited Austin, Texas and came across this tag at the Alamo Film House (which leads me to wonder – why does Canada not combine cinema and beer like the US?):
She also spotted our book Yarn Bombing in Book People with a sweet handwritten review!
Susannah, another artistic friend, sent me photographs of more yarn bombs in downtown Vancouver:
Seawall pink on a bench memorial.
Crochet flowers on Burrard – I wish I could read the tag in the photo so that I could tell who made it.
Submission call:
The JafaGirls are looking for contributions to the second Knit Knot Tree (the first one is featured in our book). Find out how to contribute here.
Awesome! I love seeing our fair city prettied up with some yarn bombs! Go yarnies!!
