Around the Net: Yarnbombing (139)

So today for my Around the Net, I was over at Susan’s blog which is so adorablely named…Hanging On by a Needle and Thread and she was talking about “Yarnbombing” strange hey?

It’s graffiti in knitting and crocheting, isn’t that a riot? It’s to bring awareness to this art and boy is it ever interesting…

Here’s a few photos, have you ever seen this before?

Until next time, 

Around the Net: Deanna’s Quilt Shop (132)

So for my Around the Net today it’s actually Around the Town:) because recently we were camping in Brooks, Alberta and of course I had to stop at the Quilt Shop, if there was one and there was…it’s heaven.

Is it wrong for one Quilt Shop Owner to visit another quilt shop? Deanna and I had a fab time together, she taught me all about Locker Hooking and I taught her all about Temari Balls. She was an absolute delight.

Here’s what I bought, all of the stuff I need to get started “hooking” as Deanna put it!

The book, with adorable stories and designs

the mesh: you use as your base

the hook: to pull your fabric through and the twine

Twine: used to keep fabric from coming through the mesh, you don’t see it when your finished.

So now that I have a new love, have you tried this before… I need to go and find some scraps…see you later 🙂
