Morning everyone! Two of the three tree bases in the NCIE yarnbomb are finished! The last one has begun. This is quite a big job when you realise they are approximately 50cm wide and 180cm long or more! All knitted or crocheted by hand... The Rainbow tree, pictured left, is double crochet using 2 strands of 8 ply with a 4.5mm hook so it is thick and colourful. Rows of contrasting bobbles poke out in a pleasingly lumpy-bumpy way. Feeling like the slow but steady turtle eating up the centimetres stitch by stitch... Find colour in your life today! Queen Babs :)

It's all systems go on the NCIE yarnbomb this week. Lots of lovely yarn was bought to help out Yarnbombers United and for the workshops involving 2 dozen local kids. Our mailman has also been kept busy (I'm sure he wonders what all the parcels are) delivering yarnbombs, tree wraps, leaves, mandalas and pom-poms. While many of us are beavering away feverishly on this project I introduced the idea of another project: 17 bike racks at Redfern train station. I had a colour idea in mind and our Yarnbombers United team lept at the chance to play. They really are amazing and talented people. A rough count of naked street sign poles along the Cycleway on George Street, Redfern between Cleveland and Phillip Streets showed 8 are completed...so only 60 to go! :D This is a long term project. I'm always thrilled with the sharing and support of crafty people and enthusiasts. May it continue to grow! Have a great day, Queen Babs |
