Thanks for all of the great comments!  I'm so happy sooooooo many people liked the project!  Here are a few of the pictures I received from folks who experienced the POM POM BOMB!

Taking time to smell the um...Pom Flowers!

Starting to get saggy from all the action it got today!

Check out this little cutie pie--and I thought the Pom Bench was cute!

After!

Look at what I stumbled upon in the park this morning!!!!! I may or may not have participated...

Before

Today, just an unassuming bench.
Tomorrow, in the light of day...who knows!

What did you do for International Yarn Bomb day???

T-Minus 1 day 'til International Yarn Bombing Day

Yeah, you read that right.
One day.
Tomorrow.

What did you say? 
You don't have anything ready?
Here are a few things you can do if you haven't had time...just heard about it and want to participate...can't knit or crochet (ME). 

• make a pom pom garland and hang it somewhere inventive,
• Slaughter an old knitted sweater and sew it on to a statue,
• Weave yarn on a fence,
• Use that old scarf you never wear anymore and put it on a statue, sew it to a pole, post or liven up a bike rack with it,
• Make a mobile out of old pot-holders and hang it in a tree
• Pimp a statue with mittens, a scarf or knitted cap left over from last winter
• Plant some Pom Pom Flowers 

Can't wait to show you what we have been working on!

Soon.
Soon.
Soon.

pot hole, or POM hole?

How adorable is this!  I would love to see this on my way to work!

‘Nid de Poule‘

  Juliana Santacruz Herrera decorated Paris’ potholes with strips of colorful yarn!

I would LOVE to adapt this idea to pom poms! hmmmm.  Gets me thinking!

International Yarn Bombing Day!

Did you know that June 11th is the first International Yarn Bombing Day?

The moxie behind this is Joann Matvichuk who lives in Lethbridge, Alberta (Canada).

If you are are a knitter or a crocheter, I hope you will join others AROUND THE WORLD in a day of world YARN DOMINATION!
Guess what?  I don't knit or crochet and I'll be participating...you can too!  I'm planning a Pom Pom Bomb!  You know not the dangerous kind, the adorable, colorful, leave no mess behind kind!

If you’d like to get involved, there is an informative Facebook group and a website: http://iybd.blogspot.com/. The Ravelry knit graffiti, yarn bombing, and guerilla knitter groups should have local listings as well.
