I am so happy that the first Sheepish Heart Bomb was such a huge success! It is really encouraging to see so many different people around the world take a moment out of their day to create something for the sake of making others happy. Your knit, crochet, and handmade hearts made people stop, smile, and remember that someone out there cares. I hope you enjoyed leaving little "heart bombs" around your town.
I shared several hearts during the day last Thursday. I kept up my intarsia yarn bomb tradition with this knit heart and attached it to a picnic table in a local park. (I also shared a video of this yarn bomb on Vine!) It was fun leaving different hearts on benches, fences, and other spots around town. Even though this is my fifth or sixth time yarn bombing, I still feel strange attaching a piece of knitting to something in public. I tried my hardest to be stealth during each heart bomb, but after a few uncomfortable moments I soon discovered the problem: I am not stealth. At all. Haha.
My favorite part of the day was looking at all of your beautiful photos as you went out and shared your hearts. You are so creative! I tried my best to get all of the #sheepishheartbomb photos posted on Instagram and Twitter together. I decided to split this post into two parts because so many of you participated! Here is the first group of heart bomb creations:
Row 4 - Michelle // Meet Make Laugh // Megan // MK Carroll
I will share the rest of your photos and some of my other heart bombs tomorrow. Thank you again for participating and spreading the word throughout the weekend. I can't wait to do it again next year!
What was your favorite part of the Sheepish Heart Bomb? Please share your stories below.
I hope you are having a great start to the week. :)
How an amazing project! I didn't know about Sheepish Heart Bomb since read your post. Thanks for sharing these beautiful and lovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteyour knitted heart looks perfect! Everyone's pics look ace - there's so many :) this was my first ever yarn bombing and I loved it! scouting out the right spot to hang the hearts was fun and then trying to do so without anyone seeing was kinda like a spy game! sadly im not stealthy either (I was pretending to read a nearby sign for aaages waiting for this man to walk off, I prob looked v.odd) but I'm definitely going to do it again! thanks for heart pattern btw! X
ReplyDeleteHaha! I did the same thing. I hung around one bench way to long, awkwardly staring at the people around it, until I could finally attach my heart and snap a picture.
DeleteI am so happy you had fun!
this is awesome!!!=)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, don't they look fantastic!!! It really makes me smile to think that people all over the world , at the same-ish time, were giving a little time to spread some love and make someone happy :) my daughter and I had a lot of fun again (also being not very stealth!) ... I hope you got our email (I'm not a very regular user of Instagram or Flickr...), we quickly sent it before dashing off on half term hols... Fingers x'd xxx

ReplyDeleteIt's so fun to see all the hearts together. I've seen a few popping up on Instagram over the week. There were so many people participating. It is fun to see this project grow. Can't wait to see the rest of the results! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to sit down on a park bench and find a little crochet or knitted heart on it - very cute! Very pro yarn bombing, I should get involved.... :)
ReplyDeleteI missed this because I'm lame and forgot, please do another yarn bomb again soon! I think crocheted hearts are so cute :)
