Yarn Bombing the Backyard

Yarn Bombing 2

I have long admired yarn bombing "installations" that I have seen around the country and decided that I would add a little color to my own backyard. I stand in awe of all of the yarn bombers who artfully and intentionally take their time to create these beautiful pieces for all to enjoy. BUT...as a busy mama of three littles, I didn't want to spend my precious free time knitting for my tree. :)

So on my thrifting excursions over the last month, I have focused on rescuing discarded hand knit treasures.

And then I tied them all to my tree. And they make me happy.

*my favorite book on yarn bombing is this. love. and another gallery of knitted goodness here.

Knitting Season

I tend to knit more in the winter and hoop more in the summer. The leaves are falling and snow is flying...so it's time to KNIT! The familiar tap tap tap of my favorite Addi Turbo needles brings a special joy to my heart :) Here are a few projects that I've finished lately.

The "GAPtastic Cowl" for my sister's birthday.

An alpaca cowl for my midwife and dear friend, Rebecca.

All patterns and details can be found on my Ravelry project page!
