<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<b>MATERIALS</b></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
Large standard size hot water bottle (34cm tall x 20cm wide)</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
8ply yarn (I used New Fashion yarn) in any colours you like</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
3.5mm
hook (you need to use a hook .5mm smaller than you normally would as
you want the C2C to be nice and dense to keep the heat in)</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<b>SIZING</b></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
You will be working a rectangle C2C pattern measuring:</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
No neck pattern - 34 boxes high X 13 boxes wide. </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
Neck pattern - 37 boxes X 13 boxes wide.</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
Remember that sizing can depend on yarn size, hook size and tension.</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<b>TIME</b></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
This
pattern will take a few hours depending on your crochet speed. A great
pattern for taking on public transport, to the doctors surgery, to the
kids footy training, or a night on the sofa watching TV.<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<b>TUTORIAL</b></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
This
tutorial is not a C2C tutorial. You must already know how to do C2C
including increasing and decreasing rows. If you don't know how to do
it, check out youtube for video help.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
There
are a variety of decorative tops you can make on your bottles. You can
do a top that stops at the shoulder of the bottle and leaves the neck
exposed, or you can do a top that bunches up around the neck.</div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
The following photo shows where you would start working from to do the bottle pattern with the neck:<br />

I
forgot to take a photo showing where you would start working from to do
the bottle pattern without the neck, but here is a photo showing me
working the C2C pattern until its wide enough for the width of the
bottle.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
PLEASE NOTE: yarn, hooks
and tension can differ. It is best to make your pattern and check it
against your own hot water bottle. I can write up a tutorial with the
recommended yarn and hooks and sizing but yours still might turn out a
different size to mine. Check your sizing against your own hot water
bottle if you can.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To continue
making your neck or no neck pattern, keep increasing your C2C rectangle.
Lay your hot water bottle on the fabric to check sizing. If you're not
checking against a bottle, just keep increasing to 13 boxes wide and
decrease one side and increase the other to 34 or 37 boxes high.<br />
<br />
Photos below show how to check sizing for both the neck pattern and no neck pattern:</div>
<div>

<br />
Once
you reach 34 or 37 boxes high (or the number of boxes you need in your
tension to reach the top), start decreasing to finish off your rectangle
C2C pattern.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
FOR THE NO NECK PATTERN...</div>
<div>
Photo
below show stitch markers where you need to start single crocheting
both the front and back fabric together and down the side to the bottom.
You need to do this for the left and right sides. You need to leave the
gap at the top to get bottle in and out. Please read the JOINING
paragraph.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkz5PwfTWMOdlruesw3e5QaK6-oh2vSOAfO_L7czH3IeYF0dACnjEXILDF3ePCxsSEVBiV8K3zZANDDDHv1PnlOb9lty-R-txE3rP3uo-GqbUgjmFc279u7hI-_-Eycp54T3_a4AI9MFY/s1600/11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkz5PwfTWMOdlruesw3e5QaK6-oh2vSOAfO_L7czH3IeYF0dACnjEXILDF3ePCxsSEVBiV8K3zZANDDDHv1PnlOb9lty-R-txE3rP3uo-GqbUgjmFc279u7hI-_-Eycp54T3_a4AI9MFY/s320/11.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
FOR THE NECK PATTERN...</div>
<div>
You can skip straight to the joining paragraph.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
JOINING<br />
You
have two choices with the single crochet joining (remembering that C2C
has no right or wrong side, so you can use any side)...</div>
<div>
- you can single crochet down the sides and have that as a border</div>
<div>
- or you can single crochet down the sides and turn the fabric inside out and have the join on the inside of the cover</div>
<div>
Neither of these methods is better than the other - it is just personal preference.<br />
<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
DECORATIVE CORD</div>
<div>
Now
if you like, you can finish off with a cord to tie around the neck of
the cover. You can choose any method of making a cord but the easiest is
to chain a long crochet chain between 80-90cm long. Then weave the cord
inbetween the boxes (NOT into stitches but inbetween your boxes) and
around the neck, then tie a double knot and tie a bow, and you're all
done!<br />

This is a modified version of Elisabeth Andree's japanese square that she used for her summer blanket here:<br />
<a href="https://elisabethandree.wordpress.com/tag/summer-blanket/">https://elisabethandree.wordpress.com/tag/summer-blanket/</a><br />
<br />
She said she used a pattern from a Japanese book but I couldn't find a link to it anywhere, so I have written up the pattern myself. It may not be exactly what Elisabeth has done but it's as close as I could get. I also added a around of double crochet at the end because I need to squares to go together with some other squares I'm working on, so it's a bit different than this one:<br />

but you can keep the border she used if you wish (I don't include instructions on how to do it though).<br />

Pattern is written in US terms.<br />
Rounds 1, 3 and 4 I have advised you of what you should have at the ends of these rounds to make sure you're on track. E.g. (6 ch5 spaces)<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ch4 and ss into first ch to form a circle<br />
<b>Round 1</b> - *ch5, ss into circle**, repeat from * to ** five times. (6 ch5 spaces)<br />
<b>Round 2</b> - sc 4 times in each ch5 space, ss into first sc of the round.<br />
<b>Round 3</b> - ch3, *2dc in next stitch, dc in next stitch**, repeat from * to ** until end of round. (36 stitches)<br />
<b>Round 4</b> - ch6, *dc in next 3 dc, ch3**, repeat from * to ** ten more
times, dc in next two dc, ss into 3rd chain of beginning ch6. (12 lots
of 3dc)<br />
<b>Round 5</b> - ss into ch3 space, ch4, 2tr, ch2, 3tr all into ch3 space, skip
dc, dc into next dc, skip dc, 3hdc into ch3 space, skip dc, sc in next
dc, skip dc, 3hdc in ch3 space, skip dc, dc in next dc, skip dc, *3tr,
ch2, 3tr into ch3 space, skip dc, dc in next dc, skip dc, 3hdc in ch3
space, skip dc, sc in next dc, skip dc, 3hdc in ch3 space, skip dc, dc
in next dc, skip dc**, repeat from * to ** to end of round, ss into top
of beginning ch3.<br />
<b>Round 6</b> - ch3, dc in next 2 dc, *2dc, ch2, 2dc into ch3 space, dc in
each dc**, repeat from * to ** to end of round, ss into top of beginning
ch3.</div>

The ELLA ROSE SQUARE is a square that I modified from here:<br /><a href="http://www.rukodelie.by/content/?id=6260">http://www.rukodelie.by/content/?id=6260</a><br />as I wanted a slightly different look.<br /><br />The Ella Rose square is not hard to master even though the pattern may look detailed and/or complicated. I have written it up so that the round joins are in the ch2 corner space, so you don't have the join line showing. <br />

Then read on!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>SKILL LEVEL:</b> Easy to intermediate. You must be comfortable with increasing and decreasing.<br /><br /><b>TIME:</b> Depends on how fast you crochet, but I can knock one of these out in less than half an hour.<br /><br /><b>MATERIALS:</b><br />* Plastic or rubber duck. I prefer to use the medium sized ones [ones used in my photo examples are 9cm in length x 7cm in height] but once you get familiar with the pattern, you can adjust it for other sized ducks.<br />* Size G - 4.0mm crochet hook<br />* 8ply acrylic yarn [the ducks tend to sink if you use wool or cotton yarn]<br />* 2x stitch markers<br />* Needle<br />* Scissors</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /><b>GAUGE: </b>Not important in this pattern as it's very much a "make it up as you go" sort of pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>STITCHES:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>* This pattern is written in US terms.</i><b><i> </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
ch = chain</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
sc = single crochet</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
dc = double crochet</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2dc in each st = increasing</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2sctog = decreasing with sc</div>

2dctog = decreasing with dc</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
st = stitch</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
ss =slip stitch</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /><b>NOTES: </b><br />* Please be aware that the results of this pattern can differ dramatically, depending on the size of the duck you have, the size of the yarn you use, how tight you normally crochet. I have to admit that every time I make a duck jumper, I usually just make it up but so many people have asked me for a pattern. So don't take this pattern as gospel. If you need to add more stitches in, or take them away, then do that. Or if you find another way of making the jumpers then do that instead.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>PATTERN:</b> This pattern works from the neck of the duck downwards and you will be working in the round. You will need to keep trying the jumper on the duck to make sure it fits after every row. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />Ch 16, ss into the 1st ch to make a circle. Check to make sure it fits over the duckie's head.</div>

Not long after Yarn Corner had formed last year, and we'd been bitten by the bug of yarn bombing in groups and how fun it can be and how much you can get done, we were sitting around at a cafe and someone had the idea of doing a tree, but I wanted to go further and do lots of trees! I wanted IMPACT! So why couldn't we yarn bomb all the trees in City Square? Surely it couldn't be that hard? Oh my, I had <u><b>no</b></u> idea!</div>

<i style="color: red;">I think ducks might be becoming my signature yarn bomb as everyone loved them last year and they were a hit again this year.</i><i><span style="color: red;"> </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6 months in the making became Yarn Corner Stitches Up City Square. It
was about 4 months of asking the City of Melbourne Council if this type
of idea was even possible and waiting for them to go to different
departments to get permission for a whole range of things. Then
submitting examples of other trees that had been yarn bombed and how
they weren't damaged. And a meeting with the Tree Planning department
about their Urban Forest Strategy. Then a mountain of paperwork to get
through, and all this was even before they accepted our proposal! Then
of course we had to find yarn bombers that were interested in our
project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we realised just how much yarn we were going to need and how much money it would take to put on such a massive event, I knew we would need sponsorship. So I sent emails around to yarn stores/suppliers and to my surprise the donations came flooding in! Lots of yarn donations, but the one that took the cake was $15,000 worth of yarn from a very small family run business in Coburg called Yarn Barn. We were over the moon!</div>

Installation Day came and went with out too much trouble. We had more than enough material [too much in actual fact] and helping hands. We got done an hour before the scissor lift needed to be picked up. And apart from a few burnt noses [it's Summer in Australia] we all did really well. I was so proud of everyone pitching in together to get such a large event installed. </div>

The next day was the workshop day where we held classes for Kids Learn
To Knit, [Adults] Learn To Knit, Learn To Crochet and Learn To Yarn
Bomb. The lovely Andrea from CCCK yarn store came down to help with the
workshops and Spotlight kindly provided the contents needed for the
Learn To Yarn Bomb kits. [If you are interested in a kit, then we have
some left. You need to join Yarn Corner on facebook - search under
facebook groups - and reserve your kit.] </div>

So... 24 days into the New Year and I finally have a moment to sit down, rearrange the blog and post something worthy of reading. This year I will try to update this thing more often than I did last year. <br /><b><br />YARN CORNER...</b><br /><br />Things got very busy very quickly after International Yarn Bombing Day and the formation of Yarn Corner. To date, in less than 8 months, we went from starting the group with 3 whole people, to 207 members from all over the world! I just wanted a stitch and bitch group for yarn bombers in Melbourne. I had no idea what was in store for me. I didn't know that I would end up working 4 days with 10 hour shifts at my "professional job", so it meant I have three days off a week to manage YC. I didn't think that we'd be needing four admins to make sure YC ran smoothly. And I certainly didn't think we'd be pulling off such amazing projects like we have so far. Every day I'm pleasantly surprised by how well the group is doing, the recognition it's getting but mostly how much fun everyone is having with their yarn bombing.</div>

My own yarn bombing works [Twilight Taggers] got put on the back foot while we were establishing Yarn Corner but in February I'll be taking holidays from work and traveling to Sydney and Brisbane to do some personal yarn bombing for an event I'm calling the East Coast Yarn Storm. You'll be able to follow my progress here on my blog or on my Twilight Taggers facebook here: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/twilighttaggers">http://www.facebook.com/twilighttaggers</a> and you can see the event details here: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/208579362554405/">http://www.facebook.com/events/208579362554405/</a> .<br />
<br />
So bring on 2012! It's going to be a stellar year!<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Today I finally got around to revising my <b>HOW TO GUIDE ON YARN BOMBING</b>. The original one I wrote quite a long time ago. So now I've tidied it up and it's all good to go. I even made it into a PDF. Feel free to distribute it as you wish, or post links back to here.</span></div>

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">Since learning to knit with a loom some months ago, I've been asked many times to give a run down on how to do it. So finally here it is...</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><u><b>POINTS TO REMEMBER</b></u></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i></i></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i></i></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i>- I am not a professional. I've only been looming a few months but I do pick things up very quickly.</i></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i></i></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i>- Everyone has their own style. As with knitting and crochet, everyone has their own way of doing it. Don't like how you're meant to do it? Switch it up to suit yourself. </i><i>If you think I'm doing something wrong, don't tell me. I don't care. I'm doing it to suit me. You can do it your own way.</i></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i>- I don't know all the different stitches and I probably don't care to learn. I pretty much only want to know how to do versions of flat panels. There are a million things you can learn on looms , like hats, socks, scarves etc, but I won't be doing them.</i></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i></i></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i>- I do looming for yarn bombing as it's much quicker than normaly knitting and crochet. I hate how slow normal knitting is and crochet is my first love but I wanted something quicker.</i></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i>- Don't just take my word for it. Check out other resources; other websites/blogs; other youtube videos.</i></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">I find that most people learn far more quickly and with less stress if they can see steps first hand, so youtube is a wonderful tool for learning. This blog will refer to youtube learning only, except for one "How To" manual. If you want written instructions then you can happily google them yourself.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">This blog entry is about looming on "round" or "circle" looms.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaTNpTVYCF59zdzzXPIeo8ZSZ-LNpVnl7XXwK274-nMwLdLwQBZrZZ0vNV0THv9UgpQUG_tfNoPbdi5lK5JshrqMsRDPU5QJaCBHUi2Pm-v2ruSIE1AQHyzyP93VJukA1pqNoDv3seA7w/s1600/kklooms.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaTNpTVYCF59zdzzXPIeo8ZSZ-LNpVnl7XXwK274-nMwLdLwQBZrZZ0vNV0THv9UgpQUG_tfNoPbdi5lK5JshrqMsRDPU5QJaCBHUi2Pm-v2ruSIE1AQHyzyP93VJukA1pqNoDv3seA7w/s320/kklooms.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">There are also "long" or "straight" looms but we'll deal with them another time. You can still do flat panels on round looms.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0PKwSrlSkiY1sGBLHJ1l2TyNosSpqM-NR7e7gZhDk5A_Cg4G7k8tMOPrQjkLdnbOuwCudALnse3SxuAA4Pq5dcbJOicjupIs2bunvXiVu7fM6QsUaAAAjST-pIte3XQIk8CDGi5AD-9o/s1600/long-loom-lg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0PKwSrlSkiY1sGBLHJ1l2TyNosSpqM-NR7e7gZhDk5A_Cg4G7k8tMOPrQjkLdnbOuwCudALnse3SxuAA4Pq5dcbJOicjupIs2bunvXiVu7fM6QsUaAAAjST-pIte3XQIk8CDGi5AD-9o/s320/long-loom-lg.jpg" width="320" /></a> </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">Please be aware that different kits have different colors for their sizing. For example, the Knifty Knitter kit in America has the second smallest loom as red, whereas the kit sold in Spotlight in Australia is green. For nearly all my yarn bombing panels, I use the smallest round loom, which is generally a blue color.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrgjoeVgo19BFGokDasmUwUJQT9Vw9y5Fi6Kuu6kSCJ_BHepYkaviYpzBENMcuK9R4FQE2lJgNc5sBHbJR8-LJB4PL7eropz-5aHYil2K05nRcrIRMgxgD50DDPnZIaGl6V5SoV1U__ds/s1600/blue+loom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrgjoeVgo19BFGokDasmUwUJQT9Vw9y5Fi6Kuu6kSCJ_BHepYkaviYpzBENMcuK9R4FQE2lJgNc5sBHbJR8-LJB4PL7eropz-5aHYil2K05nRcrIRMgxgD50DDPnZIaGl6V5SoV1U__ds/s320/blue+loom.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">A note about the youtube videos: I have picked the ones I like. You may find others that suit you better. I prefer to go with Kristen from GoodKnitKisses as I find her videos are much more clear and "learner" friendly.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><u><b>INTRODUCTION</b></u><br />
Here is the only written reference I'm giving you. It covers a lot and is good to keep referring back to.<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">There are two main ways to cast on the round loom. The e-wrap is the easiest but can leave a loose edge, and the crochet hook or chain method is a little harder but gives a more classier and tighter edge. It's up to you which one you want to use.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">The most common stitch on a loom is the twisted knit stitch and it's the one I use all the time for yarn bombing as it's the easiest. You can use either one strand or two stands of yarn, depending on the thickness of the yarn you have.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">There are many different versions of cables on looms as there are with knitting and crochet. You can youtube all the different kinds.<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">I like the skip stitch but can't seem to find any good videos for it. You basically skip a peg - so don't wrap it and it ends up leaving a groove in the work. Here's a video for a scarf that has skipped pegs in it.<br />

Just like casting on, there are two main ways to cast off with looming. The knit off method is easiest but there's also the crochet bind off method. It's up to you what you use.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

It's HUGE! Hence it took us so long to finish it. A massive thanks goes to my awesome yarn bombing friends JK and Mr Anonymous for their contributions, especially JK who just killed it with making panels and flowers for this.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5FI-UdhBH_Lv7JZzVyEh9ZuJN5iR-nW922MKSkETHlpTvY0vUQWcWZIkhMhHmT1raDtucy27fT0FtKTZHtuIyZH9joLVV8JLIEWG6hq_utpJywxCjpiSdowNxykbbt4v04sGR78lP1JM/s1600/flowers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5FI-UdhBH_Lv7JZzVyEh9ZuJN5iR-nW922MKSkETHlpTvY0vUQWcWZIkhMhHmT1raDtucy27fT0FtKTZHtuIyZH9joLVV8JLIEWG6hq_utpJywxCjpiSdowNxykbbt4v04sGR78lP1JM/s320/flowers.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I must also say a big thanks to everyone that contributed flowers to the frame. I believe that would be the following people: Grace, Sophie, Bethel, Mairi, Celicia, Kat and Crochet/Knit Bomb Appreciation. If I have left anyone out, please let me know. I still have a few of your flowers left over as I didn't want to overload the frame, so those will be added to the rest of the installation.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7OeRQ6RE1g0OXtlEt7XBLBv37CTarJ_yLOrYbOPHdTPVkxOAoW6k9LTgLKci_Oq6sfJQYBZIC2k6Ihy4rk0ospMLqOKmgLljHRFRBUi7HVCOfwPk70D-JS1EDtxm5jNryJ2o6lGf75sU/s1600/new3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7OeRQ6RE1g0OXtlEt7XBLBv37CTarJ_yLOrYbOPHdTPVkxOAoW6k9LTgLKci_Oq6sfJQYBZIC2k6Ihy4rk0ospMLqOKmgLljHRFRBUi7HVCOfwPk70D-JS1EDtxm5jNryJ2o6lGf75sU/s320/new3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">Of course the biggest thanks goes to my supervisor Mish, who you can see chilling out on the bean bag after three days of watching my progress. :p</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">Now on to the important stuff... I have had confirmation that you will be able to continue to contribute to the installation through out June. So if you're thinking of making something to attach to the structure, then go for it! If you're international or can't get into Melbourne, then send the pieces to me and I'll attach them in your honor and take photos for you. Remember the info for requirements is here: </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">If you're in Melbourne, then why not save it up and bring it along on International Yarn Bombing Day on June 11 where we'll have a get together at noon. Bring your yarn and hook/needle/loom and some lunch and we'll have a grand old time. :) </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">Also a reminder that if you are in the Melbourne area and have children, then Fed Square is holding Lantern making workshops every Saturday specifically aimed at children. Each lantern made will then be hung up on the installation so the children can be a part of it. This is a free event. There are many many events taking place for the festival, so come check it out.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">I'll be going down tomorrow at 10am to put up my yarn bombing tags and the ones sent in for contribution. Of course I'll take photos so stay tuned for those.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">Often article's written on yarn bombing don't have the positive creative spin on it that fibre artists would like them to have. Isn't it all about the fun that this type of art brings to not only the people that create the pieces but to everyone that gets to experience the joy of seeing these tags? <br />
<br />
If you'd like to be a part of this event [whether you're a yarn bomber or a spectator], then feel free to get involved.<br />
<br />
All you need <span class="text_exposed_hide"></span><span class="text_exposed_show">to do is on June 11 [International Yarn Bombing Day and Worldwide Knit In Public Day], post an entry on your blog about your yarn bombing journey, and post a link to your blog in this event so everyone can read it.<br />
<br />
Some things you can talk about are:<br />
- How you first got into yarn bombing<br />
- What yarn bombing means to you<br />
- Some yarn bombers that inspire you<br />
- What you'd like to see for the future of yarn bombing<br />
- How long you've been yarn bombing and how much you've seen it change in that time<br />
- A particular piece that you were involved with that had special meaning to you<br />
<br />
And of course you can get into more controversial things like:<br />
- Fibre artists that tend to think that their work is much better than everyone else's and everyone else is just amature<br />
- People that say it's not environmentally friendly to attach yarn to objects<br />
- People that say we all should be knitting for charity and not for art<br />
<br />
I'm sure that you could actually do your post before the day or after the day and that would be fine.<br />
<br />
Let's all unite in the fun art of yarn bombing and be supportive of each other's talents. :)<br />
<br />
P.S. Feel free to share this event so we can all get involved.</span><br />

We can have them added later if need be.<br />

The first is the top outside of the frame. Excuse my dodgy photos but I wanted to show you an example of where the flowers will go. See below where I've put the weird red piece. That will be a black piece all the way around and the flowers will be attached to it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgezRljjC2pqAsx856iWKosiYIqx6Etirrlz8aMb0iZU77TjvF7g6uKw9ABo6AyhtEMIvq__Piq1ccFvqnelzk9tv0VrJhDLcgnAROTbczzEXm7UVNhXYVWHwa7DyVhbecSRCIXP-sEDIQ/s1600/019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgezRljjC2pqAsx856iWKosiYIqx6Etirrlz8aMb0iZU77TjvF7g6uKw9ABo6AyhtEMIvq__Piq1ccFvqnelzk9tv0VrJhDLcgnAROTbczzEXm7UVNhXYVWHwa7DyVhbecSRCIXP-sEDIQ/s320/019.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Queue another dodgy photo. Imagine the red piece is a black one with lots of lovely flowers attached and sewn on really neatly and nicely. Oh and FYI, there are 8 red panels [as shown below] and 8 orange panels, hence we need flowers that look good with red and orange.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD4srSPAvP4p3t7dduUp6j8AfUgLl_rYqcwweR-TVSBKGRB0Lzw7_nPr6zUR7dEfIYtGJ0IAI2GBhKh5ESVyWbnj_08hJOU2VrOt0Oym8v8h3zFcMpyo1EsRGR5M6_d6M7P1Jzx5de48k/s1600/025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD4srSPAvP4p3t7dduUp6j8AfUgLl_rYqcwweR-TVSBKGRB0Lzw7_nPr6zUR7dEfIYtGJ0IAI2GBhKh5ESVyWbnj_08hJOU2VrOt0Oym8v8h3zFcMpyo1EsRGR5M6_d6M7P1Jzx5de48k/s320/025.JPG" width="240" /></a></div> The other section of the frame to be covered is the bottom outside part. <br />

Why not everyone make 5 flowers each? It'll take you less than an hour and suddenly you've greatly contributed to a large scale project. What about getting a team of friends and family around for an hour and having a busy bee where you all make flowers? One hour and you've all helped out tremendously! Of course you can make more than 5 flowers if you'd like.<br />

<a href="http://youtu.be/XwK4hxUd07s" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:</a><br />
- <b>DO NOT</b> attach your "calling card"/tag to your flowers. If you would like to have a tag attached to say you were a part of making the flowers, then please send your tag separately. We will add them to a special spot on the frame as to not take away from the beauty of the flowers.<br />
<br />
- You must use the colors chosen by our creative director for the yarn. Suitable colors are reds/oranges/yellows and white. You can use ANY color for the buttons.<br />
<br />
- Please send your flowers to:<br />

<div style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">THE CATCH??</span></b></div>We need the flowers now!!! It's May 22nd now and the festival is for the month of June but we need to make sure everything is in order now. So get cracking and send in those flowers. There is a chance we can put up the lighting frame at a later date but we really want to get this done ASAP.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="color: blue;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">YES!!</span></b></div>Yes yes, you can use other flower patterns if you'd like. Knitted or crochet, as long as they're not too big. Go for it!<br />
<br />
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>THE PATTERN:</b></span></div>Some of you have asked for a physical pattern to the flower. I cannot find one that the maker has posted, so I've written up one myself. Please let me know if it doesn't make sense or is incorrect but it's really easier just to watch the video.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What a wonderful day. New York Times have run an article on yarn bombing and I have been mentioned.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If you have been directed here by the article, then welcome and hello to you. If you'd like to see my facebook page on my yarn bombing efforts [which I update almost every day], then go here: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Be sure to "like" the page too.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm in the middle of many yarn bombing projects right now, so I tend to update the facebook page more than this blog. Last night I finished a beautiful piece that I'm putting up on Sunday when I get interviewed by Lisette. Photos to come of that. Still working on the Light Hearts Installation for the Light In Winter festival in June in Melbourne. And in the middle of doing something for the Woolley Walk Along project of Knitty Graffity's aswell. So much to do!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">If you are in Melbourne and are interested in giving us a hand, please let me know - first in best dressed and you will need to attend a busy bee at my house so that you can see the piece and get used to what needs to be done to cover it. Please note that the panels obviously require increasing your knitting or crochet, so if you're not comfortable doing that then this project may not be for you. And please also be aware that you only have until the last week of May to complete your panel.</span><br />

I asked my workmate and good friend Krisha to accompany me on a yarn bombing expedition. Krisha knows and loves my yarn bombing attempts. I taught her how to crochet and loom knit, so she was all for coming along to see what I do.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We walked around to Collins Street just past the Inter Continental Hotel to where there is a family of statues. I've known they have been there for ages and knew I wanted to do something for them and one of the pretty little girls ended up getting some lovely pink and white ankle cuffs.</span></div><br />

Guess it comes from doing so much yarn bombing lately. Thought I was going to do that Shipping Bollard thing but it was doing my head in. I need something really monotonous as I've just changed departments at work and I need something that I don't have to concentrate on and count stitches with. I was searching Ravelry and came across Kristen Stevenson's pattern for a car antenna yarn bomb. As you'd be able to see from my flickr photos, I've tried antenna's before and I didn't like the pattern I used. Too annoying and time consuming, but Kristen's are curly! How cute. I read the pattern and it seems to be very simple, fast and straight forward crochet. Just what I love.<br />
<br />
So without further ado... here is my new project...</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

After I saw a photo of a rubber duckie with a crochet jumper on it, I felt inspired to create the "Float Away Duck" project. Basically this was a project for me to crochet twenty little ducks with jumpers and set them off down the Yarra River in Melbourne and photograph them for my yarn bombing group Twilight Taggers. The event was held on the weekend and this is how it went down...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">First I set about buying all the ducks and designing a pattern for their jumper. I could only find one on the internet but I didn't like it, so I made my own. It was a bit of trial and error.</span><br />

Proceed with caution.</b></u><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Be careful what you're attaching your tag to. Yarn bombing is effectively destruction of property and this is an offence. Whilst I have not come across anyone that has been arrested for this or warned, be aware that there is always the chance of this happening.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><u style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>- It doesn't have to be perfect.</b></u><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Yarn bombing is mainly done for objects that are out in the weather. They will get rained on and soggy and burnt by the sun. Your tag doesn't need to be perfect. Coming from a perfectionist, this can be hard to deal with but trust me, no use spending hours and hours perfecting the piece and making it look absolutely stunning, only to find it weathered and beaten - or stolen - a few days later.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><u style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>- It may not stay up long.</b></u><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Don't be discouraged if your tag doesn't stay up very long. It may be taken down by the council, or stolen by a passer by, or fallen down due to the weather. Whilst we'd all like to think our tags will stay there, the liklihood is minimal. If you don't like to see if your tags are taken, then put them in suburbs where you don't visit a lot and keep them fresh in your memory of photographs. If you don't mind seeing if they live or not, put them near where you travel and watch them when you can. I've had tags that have lasted less than half an hour [!] and I've had tags last weeks and weeks on end.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><u style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>- Color is best - or contrast.</b></u><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Yarn bombs always look amazing with lots and lots of color. Or go for a contrast. Don't you love the pictures of the brown tree's with a white lace yarn bomb on it. Go for something that's going to stand out.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><u style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>- Use up your yarn stash and don't use expensive yarn.</b></u><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Yarn bombing is great for using up your yarn stash - I know from personal experience! I have a wooden chest, plus three boxes full of yarn I've collected, bought or been given over the years. I've now cut it way way down due to trying to use it all up for yarn bombing. Don't use expensive yarn for yarn bombing. It's just a silly idea. Why pay so much for something that might not last that long. Also because, believe it or not, the cheaper yarn lasts longer outdoors. Acrylic yarn is amazing for surviving the elements.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><u style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>- Photograph everything.</b></u><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I can't say it enough - your yarn bomb may not last long! Take photos of it straight away. You'll appreciate your yarn bomb moreso from the photos you take, than from visiting the piece every day. Take good clear photos. If you know of photography students, then invite them along to shoot the yarn bombing. They'll love the experience and you'll get great shots.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><u style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>- Carry a measuring tape at all times.</b></u><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Best rule of all. I cannot count the number of times, when starting to yarn bomb, that I thought to myself "If only I had a measuring tape right now". Go and buy one of the cheap little retractable measuring tapes from your local craft shop and keep it in your bag. It's great for wiping out when you need to know the size of an object.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><u style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>- Carry a ball of yarn and a hook at all times.</b></u><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We all know how annoying it is to get stuck somewhere with nothing to do. Waiting for public transport. Waiting for someone at a cafe. Waiting in line for something. If you have your ball of yarn and a crochet hook or some knitting needles already with you, then there's your perfect chance to get started on a new yarn bomb. I always have something on the go and something in my bag waiting for that perfect opportunity. My tram to work is 20 minutes and it's surprising how much crochet can be done in that amount of time.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><u style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>- Yarn bombing is meant to be fun!</b></u><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Don't get too carried away. Yarn bombing is meant to be fun. Don't stress too much about the small things. If it looks perfect. The best place for the tag to go. Who will look at it. Will it get taken down? Too much analyzing takes the fun out of the whole thing. Many times I've gotten myself into a panic about a tag or an expedition and I've had to reel myself in and think "this is only meant to to fun - not a chore!"</span><br />
