Blue Sailor
June 11th is Yarn Bombing Day, a day set aside each year for all people who love fibre arts to have fun in a very public way. The participants often knit or crochet a covering for the pole holding up a traffic sign. Some will make a larger piece to cover a lamp post or a tree trunk. I have even seen people create woolen clothing to put on statues! It attracts a lot of attention from tourists and residents alike!
Are you seeing strange and mysterious appearances of yarn projects in public places where you live? You can add your pics to the list. You can also vote for which yarn bombing projects you like the best. Have fun!
#1 Yarn-Covered Tree
Trees are a common target for yarn bombers, who will cover branches and even trunks in brightly colored panels. Here you can see some small pompoms are also hanging from the branches. I wonder what the birds and squirrels think of all this yarn? Do you suppose they like to unravel it to steal the wool for their nests?
#2 Web of Mandalas
Perhaps the best of the tree-based yarn bombing pics I found, these crochet mandalas are woven together around the tree trunk. It seems like a very organic way to assemble the pieces.
#3 Stars on a Tree Trunk
Another example of yarn bombing on a tree trunk. These stars, unlike the knitted panels above, were created in crochet. I think this would make it easier to attach to the tree.
#4 Enormous Crochet Dream Catcher
#5 Tassels and Pom-Poms
#6 A Movement Spreading Like Mushrooms
One website describes Yarn Bombing Day as a movement that spread like mushrooms. And in fact, some participants bombed with crochet mushrooms!
#7 Knit In Public Day
This year, World Wide Knit In Public Day fell on June 10th. So you may have seen people out in public places, just sitting and working on their knitting or crochet pieces. Some people left evidence of their activities before they went home!
#8 Curious but the fact
In Limonar village near Torrevieja Spain they are very creative. Loves his village, it's like a real flower garden. See how they got to look roundabout before entering the village. Everything is woven crochet, to clothing chair and table. And plant pots too. You enter the village with a smile and cheerful mood.
