Voting Day Yarnbomb


After the stressful decision between voting from the heart or tactically I needed to do a little bit of Yarnbombing to bring back a sense of normality. 





I had designed this one especially for Kathy's new shop The Alley which is full of lovely stuff "for your gaff" made from left over alpaca / wool yarn :-)

Hay Festival 2014

Yes, it has been a long time without yarn-bombing, so busy learning new knitting skills and how to 'make do and mend' for local friends' moth eaten clothes.

On an evening wander round Hay, on one of the few rain free days so far, I decided to put up a few yarn gifts, some on friend's business premises, some on the regular dull structures around the place that needed a bit of  cheering up.


The Pop Up Pantry, who hilariously at first,accidentally wrote their sign as Pop Up Panty,  lovely food and lovely hosts, pop in!




The Old Electric Shop, a lovely new space for browsing vintage home decor and clothes, random curiosities and to get a warm drink or cocktails




This is for my friend Becky who has he vintage shop through the blue gates, to add to the colour she brings to town.




During the recent renovation of the cheese market an old tag was removed from the drain pipe so it has a bright new replacement for you to enjoy whilst eating a gorgeous ice-cream from Shepherds'.





The temporary Groucho Club at Hay Castle got a little sunny belly-button motif, whilst a beautiful sunset smiled.



my lovely friend Masha posing for the pic.


The Thoughtful Gardner & Castello de Haia deserved a little gift.




 Finally a little star for a disused old post by the gate to the castle grounds where Masha and I sat and watched a murder of crows causing a cacophony in the trees above.

Laughing in the Face of Halloween



Today I yarn-bombed the Tashi Gallery, where Tashi Mannox has a series of paintings called "Laughing in the face of... - Anger, Pride, Attachment, Jealousy, Stupidity" - The Five Skulls Series which can be seen here ...

so I made a piece called 'Laughing in the face of Halloween' with a crocheted skull.

... above this beautiful Gallery is a delightful home from home self-contained holiday apartment called the Pavement Palace, but I have yet to yarn-bomb there :-)
