It was too hot again this year to have it outside.  Next year we are just not going to even try to have it outside. :)

Here’s a photo of us when we got done with the Yarn Bombing. :)

 
Here’s a link to the only photo that the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette ran in their paper about us doing the Yarn Bombing.  The photographer who came out to take photos stayed out there with us for quite a while taking photos.  He said they might run a story in the paper that Wednesday about Yarn Bombing and if they did the photos he was taking could run with the story.  I guess they decided not to run the story because it wasn’t in the paper. :(  We may do this again next year but we are going to find a cooler part of the year to do it. :)
 
Thanks to everyone who helped make blankets and thanks to everyone who helped do the Yarn Bombing!!!

June ‘11 meeting

I didn’t remember to take very many photos at this meeting. :( Also, I was so tired from Yarn Bombing the Nixon Library Pavilion that morning that I didn’t have the energy to take that many.

So here’s the photo I did take. :)

See I told you I didn’t take many. :)

Anyway, the next meeting will be July 16th from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Sanders Library in Sherwood.

Don’t forget World Wide Knit in Public Day and International Yarn Bombing Day is this Saturday, June 11th. We will be celebrating them at the Nixon Library Pavilion in Jacksonville from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. If it’s too hot we will meet in their meeting room. Snacks and beverages will be provided. I hope you can come.

See you next time,

Opal
