During August Helena and I decided to make something, anything, using only crochet chain stitch. It took me most of the month to think of something!
Just for fun we are both posting our makes this morning, neither of us has seen the others piece. Here is mine.
I love her! she is hanging here right beside me.
Please visit Helena to see what she came up with…how exciting!
Have you heard of Yarn Bombing? (type yarn bombing into google) I have seen some around here and around Bristol, there is even some on the end of Clevedon pier! Although I love it I couldn’t imagine knitting something big enough or going out in the night to Yarn Bomb something!
While I was looking around our local flower festival I saw a twig from a tree yarn bombed as an entry. It was fabulous and got third prize. I thought “I could do that!” as you do. I looked for something suitable while out on a walk with our visitors, who thought I had totally lost it! My family are used to me and didn’t bat an eyelid!
Then I crochet some more chains and yarn bombed this twig!
I enjoyed the process so much, it was very relaxing to knit or chain while watching a film on the iPlayer and my yarn bombed twigs make me smile each time I walk by them and of course I had happy thoughts of my blog friend whilst doing it.
Thank you for playing Helena
adorable elephant and great way to showcase this approach. Love your yarn bombed twigs – definitely going to try that for some fun autumn decoration. Thanks so much for setting this challenge
Hi Miriam 🙂
There is some yarn bombing right near my work and I drive past it every day thinking I need to stop and take a photo!
That elephant is very cute indeed.
I love seeing yarn bombing. It always makes me smile! Do you follow “one sheepish girl”. She does a lot of knitting and just organised a bloom drop. People the world over knitted or crocheted little flowers and left them for people to find!
I LOVE these, Miriam!, and what a fun challenge!
I cannot crochet to save my life!
Have a wonderful weekend!
It looks like you really can make anything at all out of crochet chains!
I’ve always fancied doing a bit of yarn bombing myself..
I have never heard of yarn bombing! And will have to go off and google … Your twig is lovely – what a clever and usual way to keep it warm all winter. I am up for being yarn bombed myself, come to that :).
That should say ‘UNusual’ of course!
Well, this is a challenge that is definitely out of my league. I couldn’t make a chain stitch if my life depended on it. Love that elephant. Off to see Helena’s creation!
I love your little elephant! What a fun challenge. And I really love your yarn-bombed twigs. They made me smile, too.
