After we finished the Rumble in Delano (previous post) we all drove out to WSU to see the yarn bombing. Knitters and crocheters had covered statues, trees, flower gardens, and you name it with yarn creations. The work and expensive of the yarn was tremendous. Many of the creations had to be placed on the objects then the knitter had to sew the seam so these gals were there a long time setting this up. The results were beautiful and fun. Many people were at WSU wandering around campus all week looking at the creations. The sign above explains the project better than I so I think if you click on the picture you will be able to read it. I was proud that Twist (my favorite yarn shop) was mentioned as a sponsor of the event. I am sure that Shelly (the owner) was annoyed at the newspaper article that instead of interviewing her, interviewed the owner of another yarn shop in town that had nothing to do with it. Yarn bombings happen all over the world and it was very exciting to see it happen here in Wichita. The yarn creations were only up for a week - but there are rumors there will be another bombing in town some day.
