International Yarn Bombing Day

International Yarn Bombing day is so close! How did that happen?

Grand plans required!

We're going to step out and give the lamp posts of Jackson St, Petone, a bit of a woolly cuddle. We'd love for you to join us!

What: Knit Graffiti expedition

When: 1pm, Saturday 11 June

Where: meet at Holland Road Yarn Company, 281 Jackson St, Petone

With: a darning needle, some scissors, and any suitable knitted item(s) to tag with. This may be a scarf, thrifted blanket, strangely shaped thing you gave up knitted years ago, or waylaid peggy squares. If you want to specifically knit something, rectangles about 20 - 40 stitches wide are the way to go.

See you on Saturday!

Dear Next magazine, 

There are knit taggers south of the Bombay hills. Next time, if you're going to use one of our photos, at least mention us.

Love, 

OutdoorKnit.

PS we did heaps more before the heart fence too, aye. 

Also got my grubby mitts on a copy of Yarnbombing. Freaking cool book. Once there is a little spare time on my hands, the convertible cardi is so going on the needles.

Unfortunately it's my fault we don't have any pics in the book (long story, we were asked!). But OutdoorKnit is mentioned, albeit as Australians. Sigh. Bummer. We is most deffo Kiwis.

Had a fabuloso time at The Annual Wellingtonista Awards. We were pipped at the post by Yayoi Kusama for Best Public Art Experience, and Martin Bosley's City Market for Wellingtonian of the year. It was still pretty special to be nominated, and stiX came! Super excited that's she's back in Welly for a week. I'm on a mission to convince her that the capital is the place to be. 

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. In the very New Year there shall be announcements galore around our Next Big Project. 

Love, 

Knitsch xx
