We're in a museum!

Well, in FRONT of one at least.

We got busy during Looptopia. These pics are from the day after (luckily minus the rain from the previous night). Always fun seeing people digging our work. This gave the people waiting in line something to look at besides teens pretending to be stuck in the lions' butts.

Lake Michigan rail

Towards the Loop and above a tunnel.

Lake Michigan tunnel

The cross-over tunnel somewhere south of Fullerton. Closer to the Water Tower (we think).

Columbus and Illinois afghan bench

Near the River East theater.

Couple things about this one:

a) Yarn is made out of cotton and MILK FIBER. So awesome. Another Loopy Yarn purchase.
b) We made this on-site. As in, we had a meeting then went to this concrete park and crocheted this specifically for the bench in a couple of hours... frequently while sitting on the bench.
c) We really dig this idea and might keep it up as the weather gets nicer.

Get your newspapers here!

We had a bad day and decided to take it out on the city! By covering it with yarn! That's had hours spent on it!

Corner of Randolph and Wabash.



btw, we love Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow. Though we'd do bad things to Keith Olbermann that we wouldn't do to Rachel.

mfm going a little crazy

We FINALLY got this out of our place. A failed attempt at a chevron hat from a YEAR ago finally has a proper place out in the world. A place that didn't get us arrested, isn't covering a fire-related device and is on garden island on MICHIGAN AND JACKSON!
Yeah. We're proud.


ANOTHER project that's been hanging around forever. Granny square swatch under the L-tracks on Plymouth and Van Buren. Right by the library.


In front of Intelligensia on the corner of Dearborn and Jackson. It's friggin' cold in Chicago but we'll welcome the flowers anyways.

Lake and State

Yeah. We know. We've been gone for a little while. The micro-fiber militia Super Computer 3000 broke down temporarily and we had to have the super mad geniuses fix it.

What have we been up to in the interim? Crocheting like crazy for a project one of our members did in Logan Square (they'll be posted soon. We promise).

State Street in front of Blick Art Supplies

Across the street from the old Carson Pierre Scott building. Once more, marking our territory.

Marking our territory in the Loop

We've been gone for awhile from the Loop area, surfing the ebb and flow of Rogers Park and all. It's time to start anew on showing the Loop who's really in charge!

This is on a bus shelter on the corner of State and Randolph, right in front of the Borders.

Grand and State No Turn

This was put up a couple weeks ago and has already been taken down.

Exelon Plaza

Put up Monday night. Close to the corner of Monroe and Dearborn... across the street from Italian Village.
And look! It's got BEADS on it!

LaSalle and Monroe Garbage Can

Put up Monday night on a garbage can. Corner of LaSalle and Monroe.

First one ever.

In front of the Heartland Cafe on the bleachers.

Orange Cream Ripple

Assembling Orange Ripple


Up at the corner of Randolph and State, in front of Borders...


...and right down the street from the Red Ripple.

Oriental Theater/Argo Tea Ripple

First downtown piece. Still up there in front of "Wicked" and Argo Tea on Randolph and State.

State and Randolph

Corner of State and Randolph, in front of the Oriental Theater, Borders and Argo Tea. Kitty-corner from Marshall Fields.
