We’ve all heard about yarn bombing and guerilla knitting – covering usually public structures in hand knitted fabric to make the world a nicer, softer place. A few years ago when we were visiting Canberra (Australia’s capital city) they had yarn bombed the National Gallery of Australia. Sculptures and bollards outside in the garden were covered in brightly covered yarn, the huge columns outside the gallery were wrapped in knitting, and railings were covered.
Yesterday my husband sent me a link to an ABC TV story about a short film that is being created around the idea of yarn bombing. It can be found at:

It looks like a fun project to be involved with!

Very good! But It isn’t *completely* covered… 😉
