First Stop: International Yarn Bombing Day Virtual Tour: Lethbridge Style!

As you may or may not know, June 11th was International Yarn Bombing Day (IYBD)!

As part of the 1st Annual Lethbridge Craft Jamboree, the craftaterians intentionally included this event in this week's events (and if you haven't had a chance to see what all is happening, check this out.)  We're asking anyone in the Lethbridge area who is participating in IYBD to send us your pictures and videos and we'll add them to our virtual tour (you will of course, remain anonymous!)  Email us

Here's a sneak peek at some yarn-bombing action that happened in downtown Lethbridge recently.  The location of this first video is the Chinese National League Building in Lethbridge's Chinatown.  Despite being designated a historic building AND a wall recently collapsing, a chain-link fence has surrounded the building for the last couple months and it appears very little is happening to stabilize the building.  With the recent onslaught of heavy rain, one has to wonder how much more damage is currently being done by letting it sit vacant.




Don't forget, it's Knit in Public Week!  We'll be celebrating on tuesday with a yarn picnic.  Watch for more posts on the IYBD Lethbridge Virtual Tour soon!
