Knitting has never been my friend, I couldn't cast on, I couldn't understand the patterns and I found it very very boring. I did start a matinee jacket once for a friend's new baby but I've not finished it yet and the baby is twenty-four this year. However, I might have tried harder if Yarnbombing had been about then, how cool is this?
and this....
....and this
I think I might have managed the cute little tree sweater, with a bit of help.
Yarnbombing is graffiti art for knitters and they often cover the objects in question during the night. One lady spent an entire week covering a disused single decker bus in colourful swatches of her work. This strange but beautiful hobby is thought to have been started in America by a shop owner who was bored one day and decided to knit a little cover for her door handle.
Now then, who's going to cast on for me?
Oooo I heard about this on the BBC Breakfast TV show last week. Strange, but can understand why some women would just have to do it ! I expect they are the ladies that do so much for charities bless 'em.
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me, I must start that second crib blanket for forthcoming grandaughter....now what colour....pink, white, or purple?? Oh decisions, decisioin. :-)
