Yarn Bombing in Melbourne

I was in Melbourne on Wednesday when I spotted that the trees in Swanston Street had been yarn bombed with Christmas decorations. I only took a couple of photos but there were a lot of threes with Christmas themed yarn wrapped around them. The trees looked amazing.
It looks so much nicer than the tacky tinsel decorations that our Shire has put up in our town every year.

More Yarn Bombing

Mark and I were Op Shopping the other day when we came across some more yarn bombing. I of course had to take some photos so that I could share what had been done.

This time the crafty bombers had covered a wheelbarrow and a chair and they had left them in the main street.

I love how clever the bombers are. I also wonder how long these items will stay where they are.

The Yarn Bombers Are Back

As I pulled up at the bowser at our local petrol station I happened to see a tree that had been yarn bombed with some 'fruit'. Our local yarn bombing fibre artists have been busy again.

Brodie and I also spotted this grocery basket too. I think it looks nice and colourful. Angus mentioned that there are some pretty colourful bicycles around too. Sadly I haven't seen those. 

I love how all of this yarn bombing has spiced things up about our town and the next town over from us. The bombers have certainly created some interesting discussions too. They've even had an article in our local paper.

Even though I find it exciting seeing all the new stuff that's about town I cannot help but think what other projects the yarn could've been used for. 

Yarn Bombing

I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I went into town. Someone had yarn bombed some poles near the Chemist we go to. I think it looks kind of pretty. I had to take a snap. Who would've thought that anyone would bother yarn bombing our little town.
