Today I got to be a part of a unique Yarn Bombing event. Playhouse Square teemed up with one of our local yarn shops, Soft 'n Sassy, to cover the Place theater with a rainbow of knit items; hats, scarves and mittens. All of these warm and cozy items will be donated to Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital at the end of the event. (more info here.)
I met two of my wonderful Knit Sibs Erica and Jen for a knitting marathon. We, along with several other industrious knitters worked on hats an scarves to add to the growing collection of knit goodies.
We had a great time!
I also produced my first finished object of the year!
The pattern is Tinker. The yarn is Caron Simply Soft. All in all it was an enjoyable and productive day!
Wish I could have gone... too bad work got in the way ;-) Looked like you guys had a great time and it is great to hear how much is getting donated!!
