NEW DATE – Sunday, August 30th, 11am – 4pm. See you there!
***
If you’re in New York City on Sunday, August 30th, drop by Union Square between 11am-4pm and add a small swatch of knitting or crochet to our mystery yarnbomb! We’ll be there with world-famous yarnbomber London Kaye Crochet, who is delightful in the latest episode of Tea With Shira #5:
You can make your swatch before hand if you like — our StitchFinder has some great knit and crochet patterns for small blocks, flowers and motifs — OR you can knit or crochet a little something on the spot. We’ll have lots of yarn, hooks and needles for you to take advantage of.
Some ideas from StitchFinder:
| Knit Small Leaf | Crochet Octagon Motif |
Can’t knit or crochet? No problem! Representatives from Yarndevu, a community of knitters and crocheters who meet in person and learn from each other, will be on hand to teach you how! Eager to learn before then? Sign up on Yarndevu now and connect with a local knitter or crocheter eager to teach!
Event Details:
Who: You, London Kaye Crochet, Lion Brand Yarn and Brand Ambassador Shira Blumenthal will all be there!
What: We’re crowdsourcing a yarnbomb and we want you to contribute! Bring a small swatch of knitting or crochet, free-form or based on a pattern, and add it to our big yarnbomb!
Where: Union Square, New York City, by East 14th Street & Union Square West
When: Sunday, August 30th, 2015, 11am-4pm (If the gathering must be postponed due to poor weather, an announcement will be made by 9am the day of the event through Twitter and Facebook.)

Sounds like fun! Where in the park?

Hey Dahlia! We’re looking at the corner of 14th and Union Square W — hope to see you there!

Gay Pride Parade is going to make that area SUPER crowded.

I’m so disappointed that the yarn bomb is cancelled today. I will be in New York City with my daughter and we were totally ready to participate in the yarn bomb event. Hopefully, we will be able to make it on the new date. I’ll watch my e-mails.

Hi Laura, this is an older post – the event is happening today from 11am to 4pm. Hope to see you there!

Hi Danielle – I hope there will be another yarn bomb with London Kaye – maybe somewhere on Long Island. By the time I saw your new post, I was already home from Manhattan. I wonder how many other people saw the post that I saw earlier that morning and missed this fun event.
