Hope You Enjoyed World Kindness Day

Has anyone spotted these lovely knit items?  These were all placed in front of the Salvation Army on Simcoe Street in Peterborough, ON last night (November 13th, 2014), by some of our Kninjas.

Alright, let's start at the beginning.  So, you know how we've been talking about the secret part of our plan?  That secret was to knit charity items to use for yarn bombs (we got the idea from this yarn bomb which took place just last year in Ottawa, ON).

We chose to yarn bomb these items in a high traffic area yesterday, just in time for some snowy weather to hit (that was just a coincidence!).  But we did choose the day because it was World Kindness Day... what a better way to spread some kindness!











We've got a selection of hats, mitts, cowls and scarves.  We hope that those in need can find their way to them to use.

And who knows, maybe we'll be leaving more... somewhere... sometime!  You'll have to stay tuned.  If you've been following the story in the past week, you'll know that you've seen pictures of some items that weren't left at the Salvation Army!

What We Left In The Park On Friday

So... this is what you've all been waiting for.  We are going to finally reveal to you what all our beautiful tags look like.

You know the story of our night's adventure... but now you can see what everything looked like when we were finished.

Without further ado...

The two pink ones are one and the same... we just thought it was so great we wanted to include two pictures!

A beautiful piece like Mother Of Purl's cabled tree cozy deserves two pictures too!

Again, this is the same piece... we just wanted two pictures.

And we want to share just one last picture.... this is of one of the benches... one that managed to get four tags attached to it.  Check out how cheerful it is:

And remember... due to the rain, some of the Knitting Kninjas were not able to make it out... there were more tags left later on last weekend!  But if you want to see them... you'll have to check back another time (a classic Knitting Kninja cliffhanger!).
