Hope You Enjoyed World Kindness Day

Has anyone spotted these lovely knit items?  These were all placed in front of the Salvation Army on Simcoe Street in Peterborough, ON last night (November 13th, 2014), by some of our Kninjas.

Alright, let's start at the beginning.  So, you know how we've been talking about the secret part of our plan?  That secret was to knit charity items to use for yarn bombs (we got the idea from this yarn bomb which took place just last year in Ottawa, ON).

We chose to yarn bomb these items in a high traffic area yesterday, just in time for some snowy weather to hit (that was just a coincidence!).  But we did choose the day because it was World Kindness Day... what a better way to spread some kindness!











We've got a selection of hats, mitts, cowls and scarves.  We hope that those in need can find their way to them to use.

And who knows, maybe we'll be leaving more... somewhere... sometime!  You'll have to stay tuned.  If you've been following the story in the past week, you'll know that you've seen pictures of some items that weren't left at the Salvation Army!

I'm Worried About The Tag - Guest Post By Knitting Mermaid

We have a big group tag coming up... soon.  Very soon!

The plan was to make a tag... a long knit piece.

I'm not sure if I will make it:



I need it to be about 15 inches... do you think it will get done on time?

Its Almost Time!!!

We are getting even closer to our second group tag!  We are pretty exited!

The twist we talked about in our  last blog post is still a surprise. We cannot tell you what it is until after the tag.

Here are some more sneak peaks at what you'll see at our next tag.  Any guesses as to what they are?

A New Tag!!!

We are super close our big group tag and us Kninjas are really excited.  We're already making our labels to go with our tags.



Those teasers.. they are part of our our plan.

There is a twist to this yarn bomb though.  But we can only tell you  after  after the yarn bomb!

The Answer To #2

Hi!  A big secret will be revealed today!

Do you remember our last blog post?

Puzzle #1 is still a big secret, but puzzle #2 is yours to hear!

The answer to # 2 is... (drum roll please!) fingerless mitts!  Did any of you think that?


These are intended to fit an adult so I've got them rolled down a bit to fit my hands.
What do fingerless mitts have to do with yarn bombing?  You'll just have to keep posted to find out.

And.. we're going to tease you with more pictures for Puzzle #1.

















What could these be???
