Guest post by The Detangler & KnittingYoshi

It was a bright and chilly end-of-March Sunday morning, and The Detangler and KnittingYoshi decided to put up one of their yarn bombs. After filling up with a good breakfast, they headed into the Downtown Core.
KnittingYoshi  couldn't make up his mind as to whether we would stitch our bomb onto a tree or a lamppost, but after scoping out the trees we decided that the trunks were too small and the branches were too high (The Detangler has some height deficiencies!).
With the KnittingYoshi standing guard, and ready with camera in hand, The Detangler got down to business!
(The picture above will give you a great hint as to where the bomb is located!)

The piece had to be stretched significantly, but The Detangler has some very strong muscles! When she finished stitching up the seam, we realized that we had quite a long bit of leftover yarn, and not wanting to waste even a centimeter, we decided to make a quick pompom.

So, The Detangler wrapped the yarn around her fingers over and over and over until there was just enough to tie a knot around the strands, then used her handy-dandy pocket snippers to cut the loops. Voila! Instant pompom!

After attaching the pompom, and the slick tag for identification, we were done!
THE KNITTING KNINJAS STRIKE AGAIN!
Now, can you find this bomb?

  1. This is great. The Detangler and Knitting Yoshi did a fabulous job. I haven't seen it yet, but I think tomorrow we'll go on an adventure to look for it!

    1. Yesterday we saw it. We just drove by and couldn't see the pom pom though from the van. Good work guys!
