Lace, spray paint and felt in Madison, Winter

Paint and lace on Northport

 Spray paint and manufactured lace sewn onto lamp post. January 6th (or so). It's still up.

Yeah. We've been away for awile.

Hey, sometimes you just watch a bunch of netflix streaming flix and piss off everything else in your life.

   We and our gang do the same thing. Wire in the Blood is a particular favorite of Rich Stich N' Bitch and Time Line. But we're back with a vengence and hoping that graffiti in our little gang-ridden village will help inspire other taggers to something greater. 

Preview of work for Ottawa's Spins and Needles Winterlude 2010

Here's some preview pictures (off of our cell phone unfortunately) of the work we sent up to Winterlude 2010.

Garish in Uptown

The cursive writing beneath the flower says "Garish"

 

Wilson and Clarendon

Rich Stich n'Bitch has lived in the Uptown area for awhile now. She FINALLY has gotten her ass off her chaise lounge to go tagging. Note the torn t-shirt woven in the wool. Perhaps someone's a little upset about the economy and taking it out on her wardrobe?

Oldy but goody

From this summmer (ah look at the flowers, how we miss them!).

State and Lake construction

Recent work 'bout Chi-town

We've been a little quiet on blogger while we guss up our flickr page but on the streets of Chicago, we're still up to our old tricks.

"Fall to Spring Timeline" on State

In front of our fav. yarn store, LOOPY YARNS. A big artistic piece from Timeline, another member of the crew who's breaking out on her own.

Stop into Loopy Yarns and tell them the Micro-Fiber (Fibre) Militia sent you!

Lincoln Park No Swimming

A little mohair bit from the Rich Stichin' Bitch.

Lincoln Park Tunnel

Apartment complex bench

Sandberg Terrace bench near Clark.

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.

Experiment in balls of steel

This was meant to be an experiment with our super new obsession GLOW-IN-THE-DARK YARN!!! A new find from Chicago fave Loopy Yarns. Strangely enough, it became an experiment in balls of steel.

Yep. Underneath a security camera at the Prudential Center right off of Michigan. The experiment is if it's still there after a couple of hours and how big of a deal the security guards will make of it.

Hey... we gave them a smile and a wink into the camera! It's just yarn!

mfm around the nation

During the holidays, one of our members ventured into the Wild Wild West and DARED to put this up:


Why was this daring? Well, it's in front of the Yellowstone Art Museum in Billings Montana. This museum used to be... the county jail.


If you look closely you can see the old County Jail sign behind the glass. We've got no idea if it's still there but if you'd like you can e-mail the Yellowstone Art Musuem from their website. If you ever wondered who got the artmuseum.org address... here's your wacky answer.

Also, this was put up in honor of a specific person: Leni Holliman. Our member worked for her at Yellowstone Public Radio. She's a fantastic inspiring woman who makes us struggle for decent descriptive words for her. Currently, she's dealing with some serious health issues that make us kinda upset at God. This is for her.

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.
