Another example of how we couldn't have pulled this off without volunteers! lilikoiknits did this knitted QR code, and it really works! It was a little nail-biting there for a bit - she finished it during an Aloha Knitters meeting and we started testing it out with our smartphones right away. We must have sounded like we were celebrating a sports team win when it worked.
International Yarnbombing Week 2012 (part 1)
- standing on a ladder for several hours is like doing a LOT of calf raises
- doing an entirely crocheted tree limb sleeve is awesome, but next time I may use a knitting machine for at least part of it
- fairy terns are really noisy

Yarnbombing prep
Almost 200 motifs, most of them crocheted by volunteers. Wouldn't have been able to plan out a totally crocheted yarnbomb without them!
Mango picking
Today I'm out at my parents house, picking mangoes. Very inspiring when thinking about color ways for hand-dyed yarns!
P.S. mangoes are being delivered to Kokua Market by 1:00 pm. If you want mangoes, get on over there; they sell out quickly.
Kokua Market Yarnstorming
We have a little tropical yarnstorm going on in Honolulu over at the Kokua Market Natural Foods Cooperative - more details on the Aloha Knitters blog.
