Yarn Bombing interview and flickr

Here-ye here-ye!

Week over yet? What? It just started?

Drat.

We've been busy with some virtual housekeeping recently and apologize for the lack of posts....

But in exchange for the heartbreak we've got the link to our flickr photostream. Add us as a contact and check out our pics. There are some up there that are exclusive to flickr (aka we haven't gotten off our lazy asses to load them up here as normal posts).

Over the weekend, we also had a great chat with the ladies over at yarn bombing. We had a great time talking all things yarn, craft, and street art. Our spokesperson's roommate even voiced her opinion regarding covering the Picasso sculpture in Daley Plaza.

Anyone else think of Jon Lovitz's ego-maniacal Picasso having lunch whenever the artist is mentioned?

And NO we can't find the clip anywhere online to let people know what we're talking about. So here's something only slightly different....

"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

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.

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).

Union Station bench

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.
