This weeks blog post is a follow up on a community yarn bombing project that I have been following on Bruny Island Tasmania. These colourful knitted and crocheted, yarn bombs where produced by a group of highly talented crafters, who are part of an elderly citizens respite group called BIRCH. This talented group have been yarn bombing the Jane Finn community room at the Alonnah Health Centre on Bruny Island, an Island in the Southern Ocean, off the coast of Southern Tasmania in Australia.
These Yarn bombed trees are well weathered & situated in a paddock on Bruny Island Tasmania The texture & colours found in Yarn Bombing are just right for interesting photography.
I YARN BOMBED THIS OLD WOODEN STOOL WITH KNITTING ON THE LEGS AND HANDMADE FELT ON THE SEAT.

I WAS KNITTING IN FRONT OF THE TV WHEN I GOT THE URGE TO ENGAGE IN SOME KNITTING ANARCHY. I HEADED DOWN MY STREET WITH A BIG PIECE OF KNITTING & SOME CABLE TIES & CREATED SOME STREET ART ON MY STREET.
A LADY IN A TRACKSUIT & FLUFFY SLIPPERS GAVE ME THE HAIRY EYEBALL WHILE I WAS TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS OF MY STREET CRAFT, BUT SHE SAID NOTHING & SHUFFLED OFF QUIETLY.
IT WAS DUSK & I TRIED TO TAKE LOTS OF PHOTOGRAPHS BEFORE NIGHTFALL JUST IN CASE IT GETS TAKEN DOWN BY EITHER THE LOCAL TEENAGERS OR THE COUNCIL.
I WON’T BE SAD IF IT GETS REMOVED, JUST SO LONG AS A FEW PEOPLE SEE IT FIRST & IT HOPEFULLY MAKES THEM SMILE. IF IT IS LEFT ALONE THEN I WILL KEEP AN EYE ON IT & IF OR WHEN IT GETS FADED & TATTERED THEN I’LL CUT IT DOWN MYSELF AS I LIKE TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN MY YARN BOMBING.
I’VE BEEN WORKING ON YARN BOMBING THIS SCOOTER FOR A WHILE NOW & I’VE BEEN DOCUMENTING THE PROGRESS ON MY BLOG. IT’S NOT QUITE FINISHED BUT IT’S NEARLY THERE.
MOST OF THIS SCOOTER IS COVERED WITH KNITTING BUT THE FLOWERS ON THE FRONT ARE CROCHET.
MY SISTER IN LAW COVERED THIS SET OF HEADPHONES WITH CROCHET, THEY ARE COMPLETELY USEABLE & VERY COMFORTABLE AS WELL AS STYLISH.
YARN BOMBING HEADPHONES IS A GREAT IDEA & VERY EASY TO DO.
I JUST HAD TO POST THIS PICTURE OF RUBY THE KITTEN, SHE IS THE SAME SIZE AS MY BALL OF KNITTING YARN.
