Let there be light

Twilight Taggers are organising a woolly art installation for the
play host to the 'Lights In Winter' festival for the month of June.
A giant structure incorporating lights, lanterns, snowflakes
and yarn bombing will be set up for all to see.
This will be up for the whole month.

I will contribute with this piece.

The clever Lisa from NZ has created this beautiful heart.

Love it!

Pom pom project, part 2

My daughter and I have now created our pom poms (# 121 and 122) for
The pom pom project.

If you would like to see them live – they hang in a tree very close to the wharf
here in Devonport, Auckland.

Hearts for Canterbury

In memory of those who lost their lives in the Canterbury earthquake.
And to support all the people in their difficult time.

Hot hot hot

I have spent a couple of days in Rotorua.
For you who are not familiar with Rotorua, it’s the most geothermal part
of New Zealand with lots of geysers, boiling mud and steaming pools.

We went to Wai-O-Tapu and I had made a woolly tag to leave behind.

(view towards the Champagne pool)


We also went to a very fun place called Agroventures,
where you can fly on a jet stream or do a bungy jump.
Nope I didn’t do any of those but I raced my son in the Shweeb.
Good fun!

So I left a tag behind


While in Rotorua, the terrible earthquake in
Christchurch happened.
My thoughts are with you
in this very difficult time...

Family hobby

They are pretty good at woolly tagging too!

Pom-pom project


BE PART OF SOMETHING BIG!

I am a design student from Edinburgh, with a few months to go
before graduating. From February I am launching a world-wide campaign
to spread joy and happiness in the form of knitted pom-poms!

The pom-pom project is calling on people of any age to be involved,
all you have to do is email pompom_project@yahoo.co.uk stating your name
and address and a fantastically designed kit will be sent right to your door
in the following month with everything you need to get started.

I am looking for schools, business etc. to get involved too. This project is a
great team building exercise and great for bringing families and friend together
so you can request one, two, three or even a hundred packs if you wish.

At the end of the one month period a book will be designed as part of
my major project and all participants will be mentioned along with
selected photographs.

Spread the word and Happy pom-pom making!

I’m back

It’s been a long winter and on top of that August has been awfully wet.
Yarnbombing just hasn’t been that tempting...

But a week ago I started to feel the itch!

Hey everyone:
