Yarn Bombing
Those of you who live in Melbourne will know of its' laneways and vibrant street art. Recently I went along to an event run by Yarn Corner. They are a stitch'n'bitch group for people interested in yarn bombing, which is a form of creative street art using yarn, usually knitting or crochet. I have been interested in yarn bombing for a while and although amigurumi are my first love, wanted to give it a go.
Yarn corner gave workshops on learning to knit and crochet as well as the basics of making a yarn bomb. In the background of the workshops were the wonderful yarn corner, cosy covered the trees. They meet regularly on a Sunday in the city. If you are interested check out their website. I have and I am thinking about joining.
Here are a few pics of the City Square installation:
They inspired me to create my first yarn tags which magically appeared around Prahran:
