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!

American love
It was very relaxing to chat and knit with other crafty people, over a glass of wine.
I met a lady from the USA, who had spent six months here in New Zealand.
We had a long chat about knitted graffiti and she said she was so inspired by my bits and
pieces around Devonport, that she wanted to put up a couple before she went back!
She left NZ this weekend and look at the lovely woolly tags she left behind!
Look at all the beads!
Love it!

Karma
A couple of days ago I happened to crack a tooth while having muesli. Bugger!
So the day after I went to my dentist. Unfortunately it turned out that I
had a crack in another tooth as well...
Anyway, my wonderful dentist fixed the tooth. Afterwards we had a chat and since
she really likes my art and crafts, she asked me what I’ve been up to lately. I told her about
my art donation to Amnesty International (see below). She was just stunned and said:
-That’s amazing! Do you know what?
When you come back next week to fix the other tooth, I’ll do it for free!
What goes around, comes around!
Bless you, S!

Article 19
Image above and copy below from Amnesty International NZs website
Collaborating with a group of amazing New Zealand artists, Amnesty is proud to bring you an incredible event and the opportunity to bid on the pieces. The exhibition features works from renowned artists such as Nigel Brown, Otis Frizell, Misery, TrustMe from Cut Collective, Cinzah Merkens, Tanya Blong and many more.
All proceeds go towards ensuring Amnesty International Aotearoa New Zealand can continue its work defending and promoting human rights both worldwide, in our region and here in New Zealand.
The theme ‘ARTicle 19’ stems directly from the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights article, ‘Everyone has the right to freedom of expression’. Proceeds raised from Amnesty’s exhibition will go to priority campaigns like Myanmar where the government regularly violates the human rights of peaceful critics in a myriad of ways, including torture, imprisonment and death.
Amnesty invites you to bid on the artwork in the week leading up to the event, or come along on the night to view and bid in person.

It’s her song
I have finished my piece of art for Amnesty’s fund raising art auction.
It’s made of wool with a frame of novelty yarn and it has seed beads knitted into it.
It measures 40cm x 30cm.
This piece will be for sale at an on-line auction for Amnesty. The money will
(among other things) be used against domestic violence, hence the message.
Unfortunately I don’t have the details for the auction yet, so stay tuned.

Knit for human rights
I have received an email from Amnesty International. They asked if I would like to donate
a piece of knitted art to their fund raising art auction in Auckland in late June.
All proceeds will go towards continuing Amnesty International’s important work in
the Pacific on issues such as gun violence, domestic violence and the situation in Fiji.
Of course I will donate a piece!
Will you place a bid?

Love in Whangamata
I have had a fab weekend in Whangamata and I left some love behind.
This is the third piece I have left in Coromandel.
I wonder if the ones in Coromandel Town and Whitianga are still there?
If you have seen them, please let me know!

The love of it
There is a very cool UK website called theloveofit.
They write about fun things in life and they have a new article about yarnbombing.
Sandie, who wrote it, and I emailed a bit and, yep, Knitty Graffity is there!
