look what we did!

Remember my secret happy project?


We did it! We yarn-bombed a corner of my neighbourhood. We were 10 knitters, 14 installers and one videographer. It was so much work but so much fun. I dare you to watch this short video without smiling:

There are lots more photos up at our web site, Frivolknitty.com. It was so much fun - we're already planning for the next time!


An observer pointed out that three of the knitters/installers involved in this project have lived with breast cancer. I don't think it's coincidence that we all wanted to share in a little frivolity.

How cool is that?!

I admire people who knit. I can't knit or sew. I'm amazed at your project.

So much fun and happiness! I love the little birdies on the trees the most.

I saw you post about this but I didn't get a chance to watch the video until now. I love it! I can barely knit let alone knit around objects. Looks fabulous!

Thanks all! We knit everything ahead of time and then sewed, tied, pinned, wrapped it in place!

that is the most wonderful thing I have seen in ages. I'll need to watch that video every day for weeks.
