we did it!!
after a couple of weeks of our little tags getting taken down (and the emotional roller coaster that ensued) we decided that "storming" our OWN tree might ensure that it didn't get taken down!!!
So, here's what we did today! It didn't hurt that it was 60 degrees and sunny today after weeks of rain & snow!
(and we even got our 86 year old Oma to contribute a piece ~ she made the white-ish piece with the flowers)
What a fun way to welcome spring!

A Note to Aspiring Yarn-Bombers: TAKE PICTURES IMMEDIATELY! (and make sure your camera is working!)
We did a couple of cool tags downtown only to find that when we got home, the pictures hadn't saved on the camera...then...it snowed like crazy so it was 2 days until we could get back to the site to take more pictures. The tags were sadly, already removed :(
Another note: get used to the idea that you are "giving them (your tags) to the world". You must learn to be zen about this (Mom is still struggling with this concept and gets pretty ticked off when our stuff is taken down.)
Here are a couple of pictures of our survivors :) We're working on a larger piece to perhaps tag an ugly light pole down the road where a gas station was recently demolished....more on that soon.
Bus Bench on South Temple
Bus-stop sign on 1st and M
AND production continues on pieces for our large school project. We'll soon be sending a "call for help" to our school community (which has a LOT of knitters/crocheters) to help us out as the five girls in my class, and myself, may be hard pressed to make enough pieces to cover an entire tree!!!

Sad Pandas!
Well, we are sad. For one thing, we haven't posted since January. And also, ALL of our tags have oficially been taken down, and some we didn't even get to photograph. Because of that, yesterday we went out to do some more tags! We will be posting more pics of them soon (If they don't get taken down too quickly). So, This is all we've got for posting today.

Our First Tags
They're cute and little (kind of like Miss M!) but these are our first "tags".
Our targets: The "cart corral" thingy @ the neighborhood grocery store and a bus bench up the street. The "cart wrangler" kid kind of caught us but he was entirely too bored with his existence to be bothered. The lady who lives across the street from the bus bench also saw us as she was walking her Bichon Fris - but she smiled nicely at us and, I think, took a picture of the tag with her phone.
(the book recommends ninja-like-stealth and perhaps night-time guerilla action for the installation of one's tags...however 10 year-old ninjas need to opt for daylight-safety...so...)
We both found it incredibly exhilarating and "giddy making" and SO MUCH FUN!!! I just know there will bemore in our future and we're actually really looking forward to seeing how long these last and already planning our next tags!

Greetings and Salutations!
We are a mother-daughter team of yarn enthusiasts and novice "yarn bombers" or "knit graffiti" artists
(google it, it's awesome!)
Inspired by fiber artists around the world, we are embarking on an artful journey to reclaim and (hopefully) beautify our little neck of the woods one tag at a time!
Please stay tuned for our manifesto and pictures coming soon!!!
