Arrr matey, a beard!

Well, december has been yarnbombing slow because of the usual reasons. School, work, general apathy, winter commercial holiday, e.t.c.
On a personal note though, I got commisioned from a friend of mine to make a bearded hat that made him look vauguely piratey.
This is what came out of it.

I think it turned out rather well. Or at least better than the first one.
And do you see the skull and crossbones?

Felt. I gotta say, making symbols or attachables out of felt is pretty ingenious. Thanks internet for teaching me that one XD
I hope to make more. They make people happy and laughing when they see one. I also want to make other unique hats too.
But right now, Hyperbolic crochet has me completely captivated.
Enjoy!

Pizza and Tagging: Tree, A follow up story

So if you remember to last April (if any of you were following me then) you will remember my series of Pizza and tagging. It was delicious btw.
Anyway, my mother was in town last week and I showed her some of my tags that were still in town.
Do you guys remember the Kelsey one from summer? Well it was still up! Until about two days after I showed my mom. Then it came down. Odd timing XD

Anyway, the longest standing tag award goes to the lovely one I did on the tree in front of the cool people's house.
Here is an updated shot of how it looks now after almost a year of rain, and dirt and exhaust cause they really need to do something about the traffic on that road.

And in case you forget (or are too lazy to did through archives to see old pics XD) here is what it looked like fresh up.

Enjoy!

Oh my Victoria, you what you have done now

This wasn't me.
I wish this was me.

But alas, this was not me.
In light of the fact that this was not me, I would really really like to know who did do this.

I mean, it's almost in front of the yarn store The beehive, or busy bee... something like that.
And it is also infront of the queer thift store, Out of the Closet. Two groups I believe to be really into knitting and crochetting.
So, I don't know who did these amazing trees, but let me tell you, I am jealous of these people in the best way possible.

Thank you whoever did this, for making Victoria, B.C. a better, brighter place to live.
Finding these made my day.
Enjoy!

Boredom

So, often times, when I am waiting for something, like a class or the bus, I have taken to making my lil flowers.
(I have to take a break tomorrow for a special secret project that only happens tomorrow)
Anyway, the other day while waiting for class to start, I decided to tag the classroom with the flower I had just made.

I simple thing. I mean to check on friday whether or not it is still there. Given the understaffing of my college, I imagine that is a possability.
Here's a close up of it on the projector.

Enjoy!

Little Flower Bombs: My Trip to Van part SKYTRAIN!

Ok, well, there wasn't actually really that much more to my trip.
Well, actually there was tons more to my trip, but not really any more bombing XD
This was my first time on the skytrain, so I was super excited. And it seems really high tech. Or at least more high tech than the LRT in Edmonton.

So I tagged it. Because I could!
Also, Harry potter broom!

Ok, so it is not a yarnbomb (although I did seriously think about tagging them, if I had had the time) but it is a neat graffiti. Someone put at least 5 (that's how many different ones I saw, but there could be more) different broom sticks, chained to bike racks (as if they had rode them there XD) around downtown Vancouver.

I love them!
Enjoy!

Little Flower Bombs: My Trip to Van part 2

After the ferry, I had to wait for Steve. Steve moved to van 6 months back and was gonna play tourguide for me and Sabine.
While I waited, I tagged the ferry sign!

And the bench, but that was because the brown got all tangled and I had to cut a section out and I didn't know what to do with the section that was tangled XD

After a while, Steve came and we went to pick up Sabine from the airport. I tried tagging things along the way, but they were eager, and buses did keep coming really quick for us XD
So I didn't get to do another tag until way later in the day, when Sabine and I were just out walking around, scoping vancouver.

It was... I dunno, the rail? The flowers? I am not sure what drew me in. But the fact that it matched Sabine, and there was so much accidental blue and purple, makes me love this particular bomb so much.

It helps that my wonderful Sabine is in the bomb. It was a great lil flower tag. Up next: Skytrain!

Little Flower Bombs: My Trip to Van part 1

Ok, so perhaps quarter after 12 at night is really the best time to be blogging about my yarn adventures, but heck, why not. I cannot sleep anyways.
So in the middle of the week, as kind of a reading-break-that-we-don't-actually-get-in-college, I went across the water to Vancouver. My friend Sabine was there for a show, so I got to see her too.
But I am getting ahead of myself.
First and formost, I had to get myself on a ferry. I was a little scared, as I had never done such a thing before. But my gf walked me through it, and I made it on ok.
Then I got excited and started tagging XD
I whipped out a couple flowers to put around the boat. The best idea I came up with was to put them on the railings. So I went out the starboard side (-giggle- is that left?) and put up this cute little number.

Then I went around the other side and put up this one by a lovely lifesaving device.

It doesn't seem to take me any time at all to produce the cute little flowers. It seems I can make one in around 15 minutes.

Makes leaving them everywhere highly enjoyable.
Although I kind of want to spend an afternoon in a tree just crocheting the flowers directly to it XD
