A year in the life of my Yarn Bomb…

It’s International Yarn Bombing Day (yes there is such a day!) tomorrow on 11th June…

Which means it’s been a year since I yarn bombed a railing leading down to our local beach! I wrote about it in a blog post here- My-yarn-bomb

And amazingly it’s still there!!!! Yes, it’s faded and looking pretty weathered (it’s endured a year of everything the sea can throw at it!) but it’s still there and looking pretty, which was its original aim. This photo was taken last weekend – exactly a year to the day since I put it there…

I never imagined when I put it up that it would last a month, let alone a year! Acrylic yarn is definitely the way to go. And I thought it might get removed by people but it hasn’t. The faded and weathered colours means it looks right at home there… Every time I go down to the beach I glance at it and I often take a photo. So here is a year in the life of my yarn bomb… you can see why I’m so inspired by our coastal surroundings! No two days are the same and how different the colours of the sea and sky, as well as the conditions of the sea can be…

JUNE 2017

APRIL– you can see that the sun no longer sets over the sea in the spring and summer months and sets behind the cliffs…

MAY– another month for a quite a few photos!

JUNE 2018And there you have it.. a year of photos and a year in the life of my Yarn Bomb! I still can’t quite believe it’s been there a whole year… I feel the need to add some more to the railings next to it (it’s a very very long railing)…

Maybe I can make that a community project where I invite people to send a little square of crochet to me and I attach them all together… we may be able to cover the entire railing! What do you think? 🙂 🙂

Happy Crocheting Everyone… 🙂
