Yarn bomb spotted!

Spotted!
Yarn bomb at UBC!

I spotted my first yarn bomb out in the wild! and in my humble opinion, it's a worthy one. I wonder how long it took this particular yarn bomber to lace this piece on this lamp post at the University of British Columbia?

Yarn-bombing book Authors Mandy Moore and Leanne Prain have been busy spreading the word with a yarn-bombing blitzkrieg of lectures as of late (I couldn't get into any of them- all sold out!) So I wondered if I would start to see yarn-bombs in the wild.

Just what this lamp post needed on a cool fall day in Vancouver!

  1. The things I learn from you and your sister! I'd never heard of yarn bombs but will keep a lookout for them from now on.
