Peter Regier sent me this great photo taken in Vancouver’s Chinatown:
This wooly meter only lasted for a day, so I’m glad that he managed to capture it! I wonder if it was done by Janna?
There’s lots of yarn bombing happening on the Western half of Canada. There have been a series of yarn bombing events in Regina, and the Calgary ArtBomber is adding to the Calgary landscape. A yarn bomb that is embroidered with the words ‘yarn bomb’ makes me giggle.
The weather is getting cooler – bring out those needles and hooks!

It’s too bad this only lasted a day. I wish we could yarnbomb all parking meters and make our cities more beautiful!
what? where?
I didn’t see this……booooooo
I love the implication of this! Shame it only lasted a day.
I was inspired by the concept of yarn bombing and did a little of my own over in the UK, fixing a broken sign at the same time. I wasn’t sure how else to get in touch, so here’s a link if you’d like to see?

I cannot find an email link on your site, but wanted to share a great knitting project which was completed this past week in Cambridge Ontario Canada.

Hey Leanne and all,
Inspired by all the fantastic websites and blogs I’ve gotten to by following the links on this site, I started my own. It’s almost as fun as the actual yarnbombing itself….almost.
Thanks for continuing to keep us updated and connected, even as you are busy with other projects, books, and life in general.
With merino-wrapped thanks,
Ann Marie

Thanks Ann Marie – that’s very sweet. I enjoy updating this blog – I just wish I could find the time to add more works more often!
it’s the strong colors and stripes that make this so effective…
well done and sorry it only lasted a minute…. but it must have made many people smile in that short time..
Hey, I took a great picture of a yarnbombed bicycle in Union Square yesterday! Who can I send it to? It’s really great!
Jocelyn,
Please send the photo to leanne @ yarnbombing (dot) com ! thanks!
So much fun. I LOVE it!
