The Fine Art of Yarn Bombing

Peggy's Cove

Wow! Nova Scotia is absolutely gorgeous. My trip to visit my sister in Halifax enhanced my belief that we live in an outstandingly diverse and stunning country.

As I frolicked about Nova Scotia, I came upon some interesting crochet.

My sister gave me a tour of downtown Halifax on my first day, and I saw my first Yarn Bombing! I think that this is an adorably fun way of getting together to personalize your community. For those of you have not heard of Yarn Bombing this is a link of examples. Keep your eye open for Yarn Bombing in your city. I would like to hear about them.

In Lunenburg we came across a store selling hand crocheted cacti. I saw patterns for these awhile ago, and thought that they were cute, but couldn't think of a practical use for them. I love that these ladies were making money from them. I guess they could be practical after all. Here is a free pattern for crocheted cacti I found. Saweet!
