While doing "recon" before the Find Art Festival, I started noticing how many bike racks have abandoned bike locks on them, and started thinking about yarnbombing them. This is a crocheted flowering vine, taking over the abandoned bike lock the way vines will take over anything that stays still long enough.

I've been continuing to add to the crocheted tree sleeve at Spalding House and checking on how the sleeve is holding up. So far so good, and as you can see in this photo, I've been able to work around the newly sprouted leaves and branches.
Pom Pom Yarnbomb Update
8:00 a.m. Day 3: looks like someone tried to take it off, and then stopped. Since it's just wrapped and tied, it could have been taken off quickly - wonder why it wasn't? I re-tied it and will check in on it again tomorrow (day 5).
Repurposed swatch
Ever wonder what to do with a swatch?
I knit this during the planning phase of the Spalding House yarnbombing and was going to unravel it to make some yarnbombs with - and then realized it would make a perfectly good yarnbomb as is! It was a little too long, so I picked out a row and bound it off to make a perfect fit.
The yarnbomb has been tagged with a QR code that goes to theFUZZhawaii.blogspot.com (it's also written out on the back of the tag for those who don't want to use a smartphone app).
Pom Pom Yarnbomb
We'll be doing a Pom Pom Yarnbomb up at Spalding House during ARTSPREE (more details on the Honolulu Museum of Art's exhibitions page).
I'll be checking on this yarnbomb at least twice per week, and if it starts looking tatty or it interferes with the bicycles, I'll take it down.
