Hello Portland.

Lovely Portland, Oregon. I tagged, met cool folks, drooled at letterpresses, ate some voodoo donuts, and asked a few cool stores to carry our book. Pretty much a perfect vacation.

Of course, whenever I’m out and about it seems that I always spot a street fixture that could need some fixing when I’m without my needles. One of these requires a fingerless glove:

Any yarnsmiths in Portland up for the challenge?

  1. You were here! Yesterday! And I didn’t know :-( I’m only an hour south of Portland…and that fixture definitely needs a cozy!

    Oh, we were so close! I wish I had thought about that. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be back to Portland soon.

    !!!

    I was in Portland for ARGFest-o-Con and spotted this darling while geocaching….must have been the morning after you put it up. What a small world!

    How is it possible the yarnbombers and the ARGers were in town at the same time and didn’t see each other? :P

    I was that the ARGFest-O-Con was on town as we were leaving! Who knew?

    We’re hoping to get down to Portland again soon. It is such a great town.

    I live in Portland and I’d love to knit something for that fixture. Where is it?

  8. Leanne says:

    Liza,

    That fixture was across the street from the ACE hotel (east side of the intersection). If you knit something for it – we would LOVE to post a picture!

    I’ll look for it next time I am over there (I know just where you mean, though). I’ll send a picture if I can get it together!
