Want to meet other yarn bombers? Join us for for regular knit-ins in Logan Square, pick up donated yarn for your project, and work on your squares. We’ll be meeting at the following locations during June.
June 15, 1-3 p.m., New Wave Coffee (patio on Logan Blvd. if it’s nice)
June 22, 1-3 p.m., El Cid (back patio if it’s nice)
June 27, 7-9 p.m., Uncharted Books
Let’s get this yarn bomb started! Got some squares finished.
The theme for this year’s yarn bomb is Squares for the Square. 12” x 12” squares will be woven together in a patchwork to make various tree & bench covers. Make as many or as few squares as you want. You are, of course, welcome to break theme and pursue your own thing if you have an idea you want to explore.
Squares must be completed by August 23. There will be a drop-off box at Uncharted Books at 2630 N Milwaukee Ave.
The 12” x 12” squares can be crocheted, knit, woven, quilted, embroidered—we’re opening this to all skills!
We’ll also be holding knit-ins again. Check the Logan Square Knitters Meetup for dates and times.
Pieces will be installed on September 7.
Keep your eyes peeled in Logan Square this September. More info will be posted shortly.
Warm yarn bomb blankets delivered to Chicago Canine Rescue today! What once decorated a tree will now line a needy dog’s crate.
Nothing lasts forever. It’s true. After a good run, we’ll be dismantling what is left of the yarn bomb on September 8. Blanket-shaped pieces will go to the Chicago Canine Rescue to line the crates of some lucky dogs. A few pieces will make an appearance at Oak Park’s Harrison Street Art Walk on Sept. 21-22. The snake stays with me (unless someone steals him in the eleventh hour, not cool).
We’ll be planning future yarn bombs, so keep an eye out.
So many fine ladies put their hands and hearts into this yarn bomb. Love the tag!
Looks like we’ve had some casualties.
Who dat yarn bomber? Spotted by New Wave cafe. Did we inspire a rogue knitter?
