you've been...yarn bombed!

"you've been...what?!" i exclaimed, having never heard of the practice. walking through Astoria, i came face to face with the results of the most recent yarn bomb. from the postcard, and i quote, "Astoria invites you to create for our Yarn Bomb! (over) Attention all fiber artists: reduce your yarn stash and join us in Astoria, Oregon to create a yarn wonderland! (installation and reception dates) Sponsored by Astoria Visual Arts, Fiber Arts Academy." so, next time you don't know what to do with that leftover alpaca yarn, head north with your needles, my friends and join dozens of other hookers (pun but no offense intended) who are beautifying our city streets one stitch at a time.
