newcastle yarn bombing

all these crochet posts are new yarn bombs on watt and king streets.

new crochet hand grips

these are my new bicycle handlebar grips.

the bike frame is yellow and i never liked the standard black hand grips...

so first i took a stanley knife to them to cut away the upright round rubber section...

and then i tried out some crochet.

new look handgrips

 

pulling the wool

 

it has been over nine months since i last posted here!! many reasons. there have been a few things over that time that have been waiting to be posted...this article for instance...about yarn bombing in Newcastle! and then this new crochet piece on a sign pole outside the Royal Exchange

the blanket is finally finished.

all those squares of knitting!
all sixty six
all that procrastination over how to join them together...
all that crochet
all those mistakes

this knitting was sewn on to the bike parking bollard outside estabar (cafe) a few months back, the wool colours are so bright and lovely here, and wet from a big late winter down pour.
