YARN BOMBING CUPCAKES
KNITTING YARN TEA CAKES. THE YARN BOMBERS CHOICE
MACRAME YARN BOMB
MACRAME YARN BOMBING IN PORT ADELAIDE.
THIS POLE HAS BEEN YARN BOMBED WITH THICK KNOTTED STRING.
THIS WHITE CORD IS EXCELLENT FOR YARN BOMBS BECAUSE IT WEATHERS VERY WELL.
THESE FANCY KNOTS HAVE A GREAT TEXTURE
UPCYCLED CROCHET PICTURE FRAME
I made this picture using an old picture that I painted over. I took a small round of crochet lace and glued it to the picture.
I took these two faded vintage prints & painted over them with acrylic paint. I used a clear craft glue to stick the crochet lace on. This is an easy & fun DIY project.
YARN BOMB IN THE SUN
I DID SOME YARN BOMBING ON THIS TREE, A FEW SEASONS AGO. I WENT BACK TO REVISIT IT & DO ANY REPAIRS THAT MIGHT NEED DOING. IT HAS FADED A LITTLE BIT. I WILL PROBABLY CUT IT DOWN & REPLACE IT WITH A NEW SLEEVE OF KNITTING, IN A FEW MONTHS TIME, BEFORE IT GETS TOO TATTY.
YARN BOMBING ON AN ISLAND
These great yarn bombed rocks are crochet covered. These are beautiful Bruny Island rocks, collected & decorated in Tasmania by Sasha at Avalon art on Bruny Island.
A FEW OLD FASHIONED FASHION KNITS
Matching sweaters never go out of style! I found this photograph in a vintage movie magazine from the 1950’s.
Knitting needles at the ready! It’s time for some funky retro knit action.
I think this guy needs these yarn bombed headphones, from my previous yarn bombing post.
NEW YARN BOMBING BOOK
Check out this short ebook.
Art of yarn bombing is a pictorial essay on yarn bombing and street craft in South Australia. Full of colourful pictures and inspiring tips on knitted and crochet art projects from street artists and rebellious home crafters. Tips and photographs of knitted/yarn bomb tree adornments. Yarn bombed bikes and furniture and knitted foods. This is not a pattern book, it is a prescription for crafting outside of the box. This book is part art and photographic book and part craft book and you don’t need to be a crafter to enjoy the whimsical full colour photography and interesting anecdotes contained within it’s pages. If you enjoy looking at great photographs and exploring quirky subcultures or if you have a strong interest in street art or craft then there is something in this book for you.

YARN BOMBING ON BRUNY ISLAND
I yarn bombed these two trees while I was on holiday on Bruny Island Tasmania. I started knitting on the plane on the way to Tasmania and kept on knitting during my holiday, as I find knitting and craft activities very relaxing.
This yarn bomb was done on private property with permission. One of the great things about these trees is that they can be seen from the road, so anybody driving down this dirt track can enjoy this semi bush yarn bombing.
This yarn bombing is street art on a country road. Not a lot of dirt tracks have this kind of colourful yarn bomb tree street art.
