Yarn Bombing is UNHEALTHY for trees!! Most yarn being used is ACRYLIC, which is PLASTIC, is NOT biodegradable & gives pests a safe cover from birds looking for food a place to hide while they bore into the tree, weakening it. PLEASE, Yarn wrap NON LIVING THINGS ONLY! Yarn wrap NON LIVING THINGS ONLY!

I'm wondering if you'd be able to kindly email me a brief comment or two for the piece? I've tried to contact you via your publishers but they haven't responded yet so thought I'd try to contact you direct. I would love to mention any amazing UK yarn bombers you know of and how it's taking off in the UK, and also to know why and how you (and other people) do yarn graffiti? Are there causes/campaigns that could benefit from resultant publicity? And are there ever legal implications? My deadline is Friday so it would be wonderful to hear from you as soon as possible. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much in advance. Best wishes, Olivia Olivia Gordon E: olivia@oliviagordon.com Hi there,

I cannot believe that I'm at the beginning of writing a new book already. I'm looking forward to it though. I love meeting creative people and hearing their stories. That Jafagirl interview is great - thanks for posting it. Knit girl - can't wait to see what you come up with. Aw, thanks for the well wishes guys!
