long time!

2011 was a busy year for me for things not yarn-bombing. i managed one, this one at the Title Wave Bookstore:




i guess it was a popular bike rack because before long, it was slightly wounded:




all the king's horses and all the king's men! oh wait no, i got this, no worries. fixed 'er right up you see, late one night in the cover of dark:



it's held up since then, acquiring a small hole but overall doing well. i go by it once in a while to check for major damage. it was placed on june 3rd, 2011! let's see if it makes it till spring!

also stay tuned! i am working on a new bomb right now. also planning on launching a new personal crafty blog for my crafty endeavors beyond yarnbombing. i've also joined pinterest omg.

ohai podcasting world

Sooooo I know i've been super not really around lately. I've been busy! It's turning into fall! I am so busy with working with wooool for stuff for my etsy shop! Owl mitts coming soon, I promise.

Anyway. Yarnbomb Genny and I met up with the ladies of knit Happens today, episode 40! So yeah. Just saying.

I'll get back to bombing soon, don't worry.

Ever seen a yarn bomb before it was installed?



This is might go on a bike rack, or maybe a pole, either way, they really do have to be this tall! Ever tried to crochet something for a bike rack? They're actually way longer than you'd think.

Post-installation pictures to come, once I find exactly the right spot for this. :)

Hi there, blogosphere! Sorry I have been neglectful in favor of the face-page. I have been very busy with yarning!

First of all, I made a small gift for my favorite local produce mart, Cherry Sprout Produce.



I also installed a new bike rack cozy a while back, as seen on facebook! I did this one before the sun went down, and talked to a few people who passed by. Everyone was seemed to enjoy it, and a few people mentioned that they have seen my other bike rack cozy also!




I realized that I really enjoy yarnbombing bike racks, which is good seeing as this city is extremely bike-oriented. I have another bike rack cozy in progress, as well as a tall pole cover. Stay tuned!

I made a guest appearance on one of my favorite long-running podcasts, 2 Guys, 1 Brain! Find my interview in episode #441. While I was there, I whipped up a little "I-was-here" tag for Andy's microphone, ha!

dear thai food cafe, i love you.

If I could only eat one thing for ever and ever, it would be Thai Food Cafe, no question. Holy crap the food is so good.

I left an impromptu note sewed to the piece. It says Dear Thai Food Cafe, I love you.

PS Please adopt me and feed me forever. :D

Yarn Bombing Month

I went to a World Wide Knit in Public Day yesterday to kick it with the producers and listeners of the Knit Happens podcast, right here in Portland. And of course, yarn bombing came up in conversation. Several people were interested in it, and July has been declared "Yarn Bombing Month". I'm down.

Hit up the Knit Happens folk on the web. They've got a facebook, ravelry, twitter, all that good stuff. And listen to the podcast, yo.

Now I just have to finish my next bike rack cozy and decide where to install it...

PS I'm on facebook too.
