Needlework Tuesday: Yarn bombing in New Zealand

It's my volunteer week and I am occupied helping to feed dozens of runners.  They sure can eat after getting off the course.  In the meantime, I am leaving a few photos of yarn bombing that I spied in New Zealand at the Sculpture Gardens outside of Helensville.  Photos by myself and my daughter.

    Have a good week volunteering!

    Very cool! We only have one that I know of here. It's a tree near a yarn store.

    I'd probably do a few in our yard, but my husband would probably have me committed. ;)

    So do people just knit and leave their knitting on trees? How fun. What are you feeding the runners?

    What amazing creations, I'm especially taken with those mushrooms (toadstools?)

    The to toadstools and fairies were cute, but the totem pole really made me smile!

    Loving it, especially the mushrooms (?) and the fairies :) I hadn't heard of the term yarn bombing before! I've seen quite a few trees and lamp posts decorated with colourful knitted shawls, made by "guerilla knitters".
