Let's go fishing!

My gf was on the bus today, listening to the bus driver describe the two routes that go into my neighborhood. She said the one goes to the thrifty's and the other goes by the fishing pole.
Now, when she told me this, I was stunned.
Especially since the fish got stolen new year eve.
But apparently I have created a landmark.
And the proof is in the writing. This isn't the first thing my gf has found that validates peoples love in the fishing pole. About a month ago she found this piece of paper shoved just inside the pole.

It reads as follows:
"This is a simple thank you. We appreciate the time you took to create this!"
I must say, I nearly died when she brought this back for me. The txt she sent me about it almost made me cry.
Anyway, with all that backing it up, I couldn't just leave the fishing line empty. We can blame the empty line for the last couple weeks on poor fishing, but today we caught something!

This lovely turquoise and yellow fish is now dangling happily from the line.

I have other ideas for fish and such that I can catch as well. We will have to see how it goes.

The rod itself has taken some damage as well. This is the first bomb I have gone out and had a hand in repairing, but in this case it's not so much as repairing as it is redoing. It's like reusing the tags people have destroyed.

If the rod doesn't hold up however, I will have to make a new one, because apparently this particular yarn bomb is enjoyed.

Fourteenth of November: Day 14 of 21 days of Yarn bombing

Pretty much since day 1 of these 21 days of yarn bombing, I wanted to do something pretty big.
Or at least something interesting.
So while I was working on all these other tags, I was working on a major one in the background.

Fishing!

And it looks like I caught me a big one!
I installed my fishing pole tag on this particular pole and got the idea for this particular tag, because the pole is crooked. It reminded me of the angle that you would hold a fishing pole at.

I am very proud of this one. I molded the rings from wire, then wrapped them in yarn.
And the fishing line is wound around the reel there, and can tighten and loosen, lowering and reeling in the fish.

I had so much fun with this one! I hope everyone in my neighbourhood likes it too.

Rainbow fishies!

This was originally supposed to be for my gay friend David.
I was gonna put it at his bus stop.
But honestly? At 11:00pm I didn't want walk 3 blocks there, and then 3 block back, when I had to walk form 20 minutes home anyways.

(<--- This is me doing this tag)      

                          

Either way, I did put it between his house and my gf's house! So he'll pass it and I will as well.

I think it was a brilliant compromise.

My friend David really likes fish.

A lot of people in my life right now like fish. Roomate, guy who lives down stairs, David.
I think I did an ok job of portraying fish.

This is the last of the rainbow yarn I got from my friend at the pride lounge. There may be more rainbows in the future, but none as matching as these ones I imagine.

Enjoy!
