I stuck a ball of yarn in my purse when I left the house today hoping to leave my own mark somewhere around town. I went by to check on my strawberry yarn bomb from earlier this summer and it is still there! I can't believe it! It makes me happy that the business owners nearby have left is up for such a long time. The fence I chose for the heart isn't in a bad area, but it is a little neglected and overgrown. Nearby is a basketball court and a few benches so hopefully it will cause someone to stop and smile. It was a quick piece of yarn bombing and would be great for any non-knitters out there. It is amazing to me how yarn can make the most mundane of objects beautiful and worthy of a second glance.
Yarn brings me so much joy that I can't help sharing it with others, even in the smallest of ways.
I hope you have a relaxing weekend!
Hurray for the love of yarn! I hope you have a relaxing weekend too :)
ReplyDeleteYeah! Yarn bombing is now for everyone. Knitters, crocheter's (is that even a word?? lol) and now just anyone armed with a ball of yarn.
ReplyDeleteYou know, it might be kinda fun to organize a yarn bombing day. We could all go out and to a yarn bomb and then share them on our blogs, etc. I'd be game. So fun! Anyone else up for it?
That does sound fun! Did you participate in International Yarn Bombing Day? Maybe we could organize a yarn bombing day for the fall!
DeleteThis is such a wonderful idea. Pinterest is really great, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI'd really love to try yarn bombing some day.
Aaw this is so lovely! It would definitely make me smile.
ReplyDeleteI love your strawberry too and I'm very glad it's still there!

That's so cute. It would definitely make me happy to see things like this by random chance :)
ReplyDeleteThat is very cute. I wish I saw more stuff like this in my area.
ReplyDeleteYarn bombs make me smile every time - and this one is particularly cute. I saw some cross stitch on a fly screen the other day which was totally fab. Have you read Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett? It's a celebration of all things yarn with really gorgeous illustrations - yum! X
ReplyDeleteI have read Extra Yarn and I love it! It is displayed proudly on a shelf in my room. :)
DeleteI absolutely love this! Wish there was more yarn bombing around my area, but then maybe I will be the one to make that happen!
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely adorable! It is my goal to yarn bomb something this year, and I may have to try this! I can imagine adding a little more yarn to that same fence every now and then and it would end up with hearts all over it! So cute :D
ReplyDeleteI love the yarn hearts! A very pretty addition to a dull chain-link fence. I would like to try this! I haven't yet had the boldness to do it, but this might be a great project to ease into it!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea Meredith! It makes me want to yarn bomb Taipei. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely! There is this gorgeous abandoned baseball field near my house that would be perfect for a project like this! I will def have to do that sometime. <3
ReplyDeleteAlso, that strawberry yarn bomb is great and that's so cool that it's still up!
How cute! I know that would certainly make me smile upon passing. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! And I'm so thrilled your strawberry is still up! (probably because it was so cute!)

Oh, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet, to bring a little heart in to this world! ♥

The simplest designs are often the best. I like this idea.
ReplyDeleteLast Valentine's Day a group of us knitted/crocheted dozens of mini hearts which we tied to front doors, fences, trees, bushes all around our neighbourhood for people to find first thing in the morning. A few of them are still up.
That is so sweet!
DeleteAw you're the sweetest, that's so cool!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I'm going to do this to my friends fence and stick a note in there too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea - lovely to think it might put a smile on someones face!
ReplyDeleteI love this.... I like how you are making little positive impacts in your community! ~Stephanie
ReplyDeleteNice one <3 !
ReplyDeleteI love this idea http://www.hannamarielei.com/
ReplyDeleteThis reminded me of an artist's work I saw at the exhibition "Lost in Lace" in Birmingham City Museum & Art Gallery, UK. Lise Bjorne Linnert wraps red threads around "holes" in her environment and takes photos of this to exhibit: http://beelinetree.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/lise-bjorne-linnert-artist.html
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! I am now thinking of places that I can yarn bomb! Awesome :)

Love this post so much! I mentioned you in my weekly roundup of Loveliest Links... I thought it would brighten my readers' days to see something so beautiful!

Such a cute idea!!
ReplyDeleteThat's SO cute! :) I think I should try yarn bombing in my city too. Maybe I ask my friend, if she'll join me. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt’s like one of those love padlocks in Korea! A couple must have sworn their promises by this fence, Meredith and took that thing to symbolize their promise for each other. It looks really cute, though.
