Woolly walk along pimp.

Woolly walk along pimp.
operation harbour railings(lots of)/ New Zealand, so beautiful.
knitty Graffity did her thing...... getting so many involved for such a fun project.
 
A world wide collaboration of street art/yarn bombing/knitted graffiti.
I love that the knit is so out in the open, that you can walk and touch it
feeling the yarns and all the stitches watch it weather, grow old.  Well for a while at least;-)

It won't last forever but captured by photography is a perminant memory, my kind of art.
Below the links to read all about it.

My Mitts/arm warmers.

Night-time it's becoming extremely nippy,  especially on the night time dog walk.

I'm sooooo season confused I even unpacked the winter duvet then had to get my shorts from my hardly worn summer packing (back out) as we have had a lovely few days? 


Back to cold nights

Stockholm's graffiti knitters , below I translated a little.  For the full story link above.
 It was tough as hell. Lift broke. Not just once. Several times. It was cold. it was weeks and weeks of work all rolled in.  crochet stitch, threads clipped, tied, carried across the world.
They thank all who helped. (hugely)
I have been busy lately and its a global task, so far, Sweden for a project in Denmark.

Duck Stalker

It's seems my ideas are taking on all over the world!!!
whilst randomly looking for some thing's to do with the Melbourne festival of light, I couldn't believe my eyes!

Chance or a copy? how did this happen.

I think that the ducks are a pretty good imitation.  And really if I where the inspiration, I'm  pretty flattered its just suck a good idea.

Maybe we could do a duck exchange?
