The Answer To #2

Hi!  A big secret will be revealed today!

Do you remember our last blog post?

Puzzle #1 is still a big secret, but puzzle #2 is yours to hear!

The answer to # 2 is... (drum roll please!) fingerless mitts!  Did any of you think that?

These are intended to fit an adult so I've got them rolled down a bit to fit my hands.

What do fingerless mitts have to do with yarn bombing?  You'll just have to keep posted to find out.

And.. we're going to tease you with more pictures for Puzzle #1.

What could these be???

Puzzling Puzzles

Hi! Are you ready to be puzzled? Well, I hope you are, because some of these questions are quite puzzling!


#1: What is long, warm, and wraps around your neck?

Some pictures to help you. You might prefer this near Christmas!

Although it sort of looks like a piece of earth, you would not want to wear this in summer!

This second one is a bit tricky!
#2: What is the perfect thing to keep your hands warm while driving?

These seem to be missing something. What could it be?

Comment with your answers!

Catch Up - Guest Post By KnitMama

It's KnitMama here... we've been having some difficulty keeping on top of our blog lately.  Between summer holidays, broken laptops and knitting things other than yarn bombs.. we've been busy.  Plus, Little Knitter is on the move and keeping us on our toes.  We're attempting to get back into the swing of it as we have an upcoming big tag planned (keep your eyes pealed!).

So.. we've got a few things to get caught up on.

First, back in the summer, KninjaNeedles8 teased you with a story about The Very Special Bird Feeder, but she never did get around to posting pictures of what the final home for that bird feeder was.  So, without further ado, here are some pictures.

Our hope is that soon we're going to see some evidence of birds having taken some pieces of yarn from this feeder and used it to help build their nest.  The potential of seeing nests with bits of colourful yarn in them is exciting!

Secondly, we missed making a big announcement.  In the summer time, we unfortunately had to say goodbye to some Kninjas.

Mother Of Purl, Purl-ice and TINKerbell had to move out of town.  They will be missed dearly.  The exciting thing about this is though that they are hoping to continue to be Knitting Kninjas in their new town (we'll soon be spreading like wildfire!)... and they've already brought a new member on board from their new town.  Soon we will see some work by our newest member, Stealthy Stitch Slipper.

Any guesses as to their new location?  Or as to when we might see some new yarn bombs popping up?

Lakefield Yarn Bomb

These look like some lovely garden decorations!

Now, you're probably wondering if we made this tag or not. And the answer is... we did not!

And from the other side

Well, let me tell you the story.We were just at the beach.  When we left, we saw a house that had a bunch of yarn bombs!

Look at this bright yarn bomb! It even  has a pom-pom!

This house is located in Lakefield, Ontario.

These are some nice ornaments!

It was nice that we got to see the house.  And we chatted with another yarn bomber (who promised to keep our identity a secret!).

Has anyone spotted any yarn bombs in their neighbourhood?

The Very Special Bird Feeder

How you think you make a bird feeder special?  What about put yarn in it and watch to see if birds take the yarn for a nest?  That's exactly what we did!

With all this yarn bombing and knitting going on, we have quite a lot of yarn scraps let over.

Then one day we came across this idea of what we could do with those scraps.

Things we needed:

A bird suet basket feeder.

A pile of yarn scraps.

Now... put the yarn into the basket feeder.

Check back for pictures of this lovely scrap yarn idea hanging in it's now new home.

A Double-Tag Day

On the same day that some Knitting Kninjas were in Confederation Park putting up tags, Stitchy Mama and Superknitter had something up their sleeves!

They headed out to Queen Elizabeth School to put up a tag on a tree in the school yard.  They were so sneaky about this.  We didn't know they were planning on doing it until we got the pictures sent to us!

This probably brightens up the school day for lots of students!

Our Apology

We want to apologize for not doing a blog entry for almost three weeks.  Obviously, this past month has been busier than typical.

We've been doing some activities, getting outside to enjoy some lovely spring weather (has anyone else been doing the 30x30 Nature Challenge?) and Little Knitter has been on the move keeping this knitting household busy.. and keeping us from knitting (and blogging!).

We've got so many things to get caught up on... but for today, we'll just show you the pictures from our big group tag all taken in the daylight.

Check back later this weekend though, we're reveal that surprise we hinted at!
