Yarn Bombing with Ideas Magazine

Last year November, I handed my little contribution to the Yarn Bombing project at the Ideas Magazine offices in Cape Town. I wish I could have done more, unfortunately time caught up with me and I could only make one piece. This was my first Filet Crochet, crochet rose and leaves I have ever done. It took a bit longer than I had initially thought, but it worked, I think....     

So last night, while on facebook, I saw that the Ideas team had started work on the Yarn Bombing project... and there I saw my piece! Worked into the floor of the Black& White Room!

Just click here and tell me if you can spot my crochet piece...

Whale Festival Day1: The yarn bombing begins!

Since it's only me working on this project and time is of the essence, I came up with a "time-saving" plan. I recently started taking apart a blanket I had bought at our local charity shop, it looked like it had been chewed up in places. So I thought to fix it because it's quite big and so pretty... I then got this light-bulb-moment! I could use the motives of the blanket that I had already taken apart, crochet on to them and use them to bomb the age old Olive tree in front of the shop:)

mmm...'tis coming on quite well! These were taken Friday morning, I actually got a lot further by the end of the afternoon... will post more pics tomorrow!

Have an awesome weekend and if your in Hermanus for the Whale Festival, do come and have a look at my yarn-bombing and don't forget to say "hi"!   

...more about yarn bombing!

In my previous post I told you about the exiting new project that I'm going to be a part of. Yarn bombing looks like so much fun and I love working with my hands. So I was thinking, as I have never done this before, maybe a practice run is in order. What would you say about yarn bombing a special place in your direct area? I think that's exactly what I'm gonna do! I'll probably need some help and a bit of planning but I'll keep you posted on that (pun intended, hehehe).

So anyways, I found these...

Cape Town has been yarn bombed by graphic designer Isabeau Joubert on a number of occasions. Visit her blog IsaBeauPeep to see what she's been up to.

Yarn Bombing Project

The Ideas Magazine is hosting a yarn bombing project for their "wool house" at the HOMEMAKERS Expo next year. There are prizes to be won and afterwards everything will be donated to Charity. I'm just a sucker for projects like this one... Let the yarn-bombing begin!

So join me if you like... Have an awesome weekend!
