yarn bombing in pittsburgh

ok so i told you guys i would be on the look out for this

and here it is!! a yarn bombing in pittsburgh.

as you can see this is a beautiful statue of pittsburghs own mr. rogers.

has been yarn bombed with a beautiful red crocheted sweater!

what a wonderful idea! this statue was put in 2009 our first year in the burgh.

we also went to the last time mr. rogers neighborhood was setup at WQED.

so here's how i found it. we were showing shea's brother around pittsburgh

and went by the steelers stadium on the north shore.

then i said and there's mr. rogers statue.

i then screamed "STOP! OMG I have to take a picture he has been bombed!"

this kids mom fussed at him for getting in my picture and i said that's

what he's here for.:)

this real great lady was asked to make a sweater for him!

i am stoked i got to see this and take pictures to share!

i think mr. rogers would have loved his giant red sweater!

:)

oh me oh my yarn bombing

my newest obsession, yarn bombing!!
national yarn bombing day was June 11th!:)
i have been keeping an eye out for yarn bombing in pitt
but haven't seen any yet.
we have beautiful murals but not wonderfully colorful yarn bombings.
here are some of my favorite bombings i found online..how awesome would it be to see this cool hat in the dark
deary colors in winter. it would change my wintery cold attitude.

i love this web like crocheting!
i think without a doubt this is my favorite because it is so
amazingly gorgeous. just imagine wedding photos with a tree like this.
amazing!

how precious are these yarn flowers on a construction fence.
this would be a perfect pittsburgh yarn bombing bc we
have so so so so much construction.
i will admit now in my post that i cannot crochet or knit, yet.
one day i will find the patience inside myself
and learn this wonderful craft.

sooooo many wonderful colors.
such an amazing form of graffiti which takes the greys and blacks
of a city and brings bright bold colors in.
i love this so very much. someone in pittsburgh do this in highland
park bc it would look amazing!:)
