a correction

okay, remember when i posted about how some silly neighbor of mine had taken down my yarn bomb and brought it back to our house. Well my mother was in the back alley and so was a neighbor and he came over and told her that he took it down and brought it back because he was very sad that the school kids had been tearing it apart. Lovely!

A different kind of yarn bombing....

SOS childrens Village

This is the second piece I put up in India. I spent the months before India knitting just long strips unsure of what I was going to do with them, after my time volunteering at the SOS childrens village I decieded that the best thing would be to sew them all together around a tree. While I was putting this piece up the kids were SOO cute, when I was done they like hugged the tree saying "wow wow wow" it made me smile for sure.

Also funny story, when I got home my mom let me know that while I was away one of our "lovely" neighbors took it upon themselves to take down my piece that was up in the alley and deposit it on our porch. Well it was quite nice of them to return it, I will put it back up after some repair....but I guess Im going to have to start putting up pieces in the dark...silly neighbors

India!

so! as I mentioned in a previous post, I have been stockpiling pieces for a project I would be reveling in march, well friends the time has come! Currently i am in Pune India and my suit case was basically only knitted pieces to be put up around this country!

This piece though was made by Laura. This morning her and I went to a slum community to help with a program put on by Peace foundation. Basically Peace foundations supports a local lady who comes and visits with the children, plays with them and teaches them hygiene, they also get a snack when they come to program.
I think Laura was embarrassed when i put this piece up but the people seem to like it, its a very open room and members of the community have access, based on that we don't think it will last very long...which is fine.
stay tuned for more projects from India!

found this one in Kensington today, how I do love finding knit graffiti

not graffiti but basically awesome

so this post is not about knitted graffiti, Lately I have been preparing for a really big project that I will be putting up in March or April, but as a break from all the same project I fashioned these amazing leg warmers, when I was finished the first one I wore it by itself while I was finishing the second, which was fun and caused many questions, but anyway these are my extremely exciting hobo chic legwarmers

let it snow?

Winter has hit! back in September I started thinking about how snow would effect my yarn bombing and at that point I decided I was going to stop for the season, since then I have had some lovely inspiration and don't think that will be the case, although I do think for the most part tagging with slow down and project production with skyrocket.

What are other peoples thoughts on the snow and their projects?
