Go yarnbomb, GO!

I am FINALLY working on my next yarnbomb. I got inspired a couple of weeks ago when I found one nearby my town that wasn't mine!! I need to get busy and get my city yarnbombed! I've got a purple, pink and white stripey going on. I'm planning on putting it on some sort of light or pole. I think it will be lovely!

In all it's glory, YarnBag-a-saurus...

Unfortunately, my cousin Deedee passed away recently. A few years back, her mom, my aunt, Helen, also passed. As family members were cleaning out the house, my mom had heard of this huge bag of yarn that was there. My great aunt Helen had taught my mom to crochet and then my mom taught me. It's something I cherish very much and it's something I can carry on for years for them both.
I have a lot of sentiment with this yarn, but at the same time, I suppose I should use it doing something I love: yarnbombing!

Behold..... YarnBag-a-saurus:

for scale purposes!)

Movie night

I went to my first night Knitting to the Classics. At my favorite LYS they show classic movies every first Friday of the month while we eat pizza and yarn it up. It was fun. The ladies were very nice to me but of course gave me weird looks when I said I was knitting a "cover" for the pole next to my work. I didn't want to bring up the word bombing or grafitti to these little old ladies, lol. I wish I could have stayed but I was so tired. They were doing a double feature with one of my favorite movies too: White Christmas.
I got my christmasy project for work done, though. Here is Leanie showing my candy cane-esque yarnbomb:



 I also started on my 6x8 squares for The Purl Foundation. I wish I had a bigger stash. My stash sucks. Yarn, yarnnn, YARRRRRNNNN!!!
