If you are driving around the Fraser Valley (that’s in British Columbia, Canada), you may notice a flutter of woolen butterflies.
Danielle of DeeDee’s Devotions, has been adorning trees with little creatures. She says:
I decided to do crocheted butterflies so I dug around online and found a simple pattern. I swear all I do is make butterflies these days. I think by the time I finish yarnbombing butterflies I’ll have made about 110. I put up about 50 today.
Props to Danielle’s dad who also has helped her install the butterflies. This picture makes me smile:
Dad and I also went to Central Community Park and pinned up a bunch of butteflies there. Dad was surprised by a lady who shouted “Is that Yarn graffiti?!” ha ha! He said it was so she hopped over the fence and grabbed one of the butteflies. Apparently she heard about yarn bombing on the CBC and by the way she jumped and waved at me (Dad told her I was the one who crocheted them all), she was pretty darned excited about it!
In other news,
KnittaPlease has posted a submission call for knit graffiti photographs for a new book that will be coming out next year (found via the Subversive Yarn Network)
There will be a Yarn Bombing Stitch and Bitch event at the Davie Street Book Warehouse this thursday evening. Come one, come all!
On twitter? Don’t forget to use #yarnbombing so that we can find your knit graffiti posts!
