Do yarn bombers stop knitting and crocheting when the weather gets hot? We don’t think so. The summer months do, however, make one a tardy blogger. Here’s a bunch of things that I should have posted a long time ago:

Hi!
We are looking for UK yarnbombers who would like to take part in some yarnbombing events as part of the “Campaign for Wool’s” “Wool Week” in October. Please feel free to drop me a line on tim@thisismission.com.
We are also interested in involving schools in events so if you think your children might want to learn to knit and get involved please let us know!
Thanks!
Tim
