surreptitious (in the light of day)

so lately, i've been engaged in knitting of a... different sort. and i had no idea swatches could cause such an adrenaline rush!

yarn bomb!

under the cover of night...

YARN BOMB!

yarn bomb!

thanks to the lovely ladies of the urban craft center for organizing such a delicious escapade. did you know that there are ZERO parking meter cozy patterns on ravelry? it's true. i might have to rectify that.

(and yes. it's still all up:)

truly outrageous

i don't know what came over me. on a whim friday night, i stopped by a pumpkin stand on my way home from work and picked up two beauts, destined for the knife.

i basically spent all afternoon sunday with various cutlery in-hand and this american life in-ear. on a bout of inspiration from some crafty blog or another (CRAFT? Instructables? Instructables via CRAFT?) i got out the good old speedball linoleum cutter (seriously, speedball: where would i be without you?) and ed roth's amazing book 'o acrylic stencils and had at it.
