At the beach

Me and my family was taking up some final sun rays of summer at the lake. We left quite late and not too many peoples around. Ideal for leaving this crochet flower.
Had to lie a wee bit to my kids, saying I was going to wash off my feet while they headed up to the car parking.
After this day it has been raining a lot, so maybe the flower has grown. Who knows, maybe it was taken down right away. I have no idea, I won't be passing by in the near future to check it out.

Dancing shoes

This dancing couple was missing something...

So I thought, if the shoes fit, why don´t I just try them on:

Luckily they fit, I had made some measurements (with my daughter´s hand) some days before and what-da-ya-know, my ´calculations´ were correct.

Here the complete picture of the dancing couple with shoes on:

Status: dependable source has said that they are still hanging, no reactions yet however...

Hotel de Ville

Sitting in front of my tent (come rain or shine) in France I did some knitting and some crocheting. Of course I had to leave something behind. Wasn´t much, but I was glad I did it. It was in front of the Hotel de Ville in Gerardmer. Anybody seen it?

Status: no idea

The Giraffe

This was my entry to the Giraffe contest set up by Francis from the new shop KnottenWol. I entered with an illusion knit giraffe scarf. It was quite a lot of work (lots of counting). The pattern can be found on ravelry.
Today was the official opening of the store and although I didn´t win the contest, my scarf is covering the entire left front leg of the giraffe. I am very honored!!

Here the leg up close.

Status: the giraffe will be put in the shop´s window, so I hope the leg will be covered by my scarf forever!!

Yarnbombing at midnight

This must be the worst picture ever, but I was returning home from a Jazz festival when I dropped these two yarnbombings. This was way back in June. Haven't updated my blog in a long time.
Next day the one on the pole was gone and the little guy on the bench, I don't know if it was there. There was a fat guy sitting on the bench, I did not have the guts to ask him to move over.

Status: all gone within the week.

Yarnbombing in Serbia

I was away on a short trip to Serbia this weekend and it coincided with International Yarnbombing Day. Well, of course, I had to do some preparations so I could leave something in the city I was visiting.

My little green friend over here went with me in my suitcase and I made a special tag for June 11th.
I was traveling with a group of 6 girlfriends and it was hard finding an excuse for some needed alone time, but I managed and planted my green pal on a big statue. Wasn't quite at ease because I don't know if they appreciate this yarn art, but I didn't see any police men around so I just did it.

He looks very happy and my tag said that if you should take him with you to let me know and send some pics. The next day we passed the statue during a walking tour and he was already gone, snif...Unfortunately haven't heard anything about his whereabouts. Please let me know if you have seen him!

I was so upset and luckily I found a lost crochet flower in the pocket of my jacket so I tied it to a bush in front of our hotel.

It made me feel better and this morning when we left the hotel it was still there, yay!

status: green fellow didn't last more than a day; flower still there (I hope).

Avond 4 daagse

Avond 4 daagse means "4 days of evenings a walking". This is something we do with the kids every year. They walk (run/skip/whine) 5 km (sometimes less, sometimes more) every evening and on the 4th day they all receive a well deserved medal.
Well, this Monday was the start and I made a piece to hang on a pole which was on the first route. Luckily it is also on the route to work, so I could sew it on Monday evening before the start. On it I embroidered the text AVOND 4 DAAGSE and the initials of the school.

I don't think anybody noticed however, but I sure had fun making it.

Like I said, I pass by there every day to and from work and I am always happy to see it is still there.

status: gone after 2 days
