I was running errands with my partner Jeff this afternoon, and we walked pas the Davie Street Village Garden (home of Jessica Glesby’s knitted wall)… I looked up, and suddenly it was raining cats and dogs…literally….
A delightful parade of little cats and dogs encased in crocheted raindrops.
The handiwork seems to be by WooWork. Howie – you are a master of amigurumi and yarn bombing cuteness! In a city where it rains so hard, your work is a delight. It definitely made my day and that of many others.
Be sure to check out the following via WooWork.com:
and, the crocheted spy wear.
“Um, this guy is kind of awesome,” said Jeff. Yep, I agree. Howie, we can’t wait to see what you get up to during the Olympics!
absolutely love it!
made me smile
How cool! I saw a cryptic message about this on Howie’s blog – thanks for the heads up to it! – and I love it. I’m going to have to come downtown to see it myself before it’s lost!
Thank you so much for the flattering mention! We nearly crossed paths: I was taking more photos at the garden on the same day you were there
I’m also editing the video that my girlfriend recorded of the rainy stringing-up process, so you might like watching it when it appears on the WooWork.com blog later this week.
Thanks again for your kind words and encouragement!
How cool is that??! I love it!
awesome. thanks for sharing.
super cool! should venture down before they disappear……
Love it. I just couldn’t stop smiling!
Oh man this is just really cute as hell.
Wooofff! Ruuuffff! Bark bark bark! Woofie, woof woof. Aaarrruuuuffff! Owooooooooooooooooo!
Fantastic!! I bet this brightened up so many peoples day. Truly Olympic standard yarn bombing.
I am honored that so many people have contributed to my installation over the past few months! Thank you for the coverage Leanne – I wish that I could be in Vancouver right now to see Howie’s work myself.
As I mentioned to you in my email Leanne, my hope is that people will continue to add to it throughout the Olympics; our community garden becomes a worldly community garden.
Any objection to me putting these photos on my website with your website +name attached?
Hi Jessica,
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you – of course, feel free to use the photos – please attach the name of the knit graffiti artist with them (not that I really have to tell YOU that
