I am feeling rather purple today so I have decided to share some photographs of purple yarn bombs. Lovely chunky loose knit tree cosies are the theme of these photographs.

YARN BOMBING FOR BUDDHA & THE PINK KNITTED SCARF
My mother has this lovely Buddha statue standing serenely by her front door. The winter came & I was doing some yarn bombing around the neighbourhood, so I decided to knit Buddha a pink scarf.
Yarn bombing keeps trees, poles & statues warm and colourful in any season.
YARN BOMBING THE KNITTED TREE IN MY CRAFT GARDEN
Autumn in South Australia is here & it’s time to get my house & garden ready for winter, so of course I’m yarn bombing everything in sight, to give it a warm feeling.
This tree is on my front fence line & was actually dead when I moved into my house. A lot of people told me to cut the tree down but I decided just to trim it back & plant my garden around it. I have yarn bombed one of the main branches with a cream coloured knit. I am planning to adorn the tree with more yarn bombing and some wind chimes over the next few months.
YARN BOMBING CLOSE UP PHOTOGRAPHY
THESE SUPER BRIGHT KNITTED YARN BOMBS HAVE BEEN LOOSELY KNITTED, WHICH LETS THE TREE’S BREATH & HAS A GREAT TEXTURE.
POLAROID TREE & THE YARN BOMB
THIS TREE IS BEING YARN BOMBED WITH A BASIC KNITTED TEXTILE. THE POLAROID PHOTOGRAPHY HIGHLIGHTS THE COLOURS & TEXTURES BEAUTIFULLY.
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.
YARN BOMBING TREE’S MAKE GREAT STREET ART
You can yarn bomb with crochet with knitting, old blankets or jumpers. 
As long as it’s colourful and fun and done with care yarn bombing will spice up and warm up any neighbourhood.
It doesn’t have to cost a lot to knit a tree warmer if you use vintage wool from the thrift store or even an old unpicked jumper.
Is this tree up for lease? I’ll take it.
Anybody can take a crack at yarn bombing including girls & boys, kids & grownups alike.
It’s fun to knit craft & sew & it’s always nice to snap a colourful photograph when it’s done.
YARN BOMBING PORT ADELAIDE STILL STANDING STRONG
In many of my previous blog posts I have showcased photographs of the amazing yarn bombing work done in Port Adelaide and I thought it was time for a brief update.
The most exciting part about the mass yarn bombing of Port Adelaide is that the community loves it so much that people just keep adding to it. Random poles and Tree’s are being covered in knitting and crochet when one least expects it.
The original yarn bombings are still being enjoyed.
Even the local council seems to like the yarn bombing as they have opted to leave it intact.
The local workers memorial statue has been wearing a knitted scarf and hat for several months now and no amount of wind or rain has damaged her yarn garments.
