Those of you who have been following my blog for a while may remember that 2 years ago, I undertook some guerrilla crochet and yarnbombed the Alameda Gardens for it’s 200th anniversary. You can read all about in this post from International Yarnbombing Day 2016.
Well it turns out, today is International Yarnbombing Day 2018 and I fancied getting my yarnbombs out of storage to see the light of day again. This time though, it was a bit less guerrilla (I actually had permission this time – must be getting old and more responsible!).
I dusted off my original yarnbombs and added a few new ones including this handful of butterflies…
Want to see them in situ? Here goes…
Molly Bloom’s got her necklace back on…
Giuseppe Codali’s got his scarf back on too…
He’s looking rather dapper as he stands guard overlooking his bridge:
My mini blanket is now hanging up alongside the fundraising plaques for the Alameda BioDome.
This time it has some little crocheted butterflies holding it in place.
More of those little butterflies are fluttering about nearby…
And last of all, vines of little crocheted flowers have wound themselves around the railings too.
If you would like to go and see them for yourself, they should hopefully be there until Wednesday.
Happy International Yarnbombing Day!

Bringing lots of smiles I’m sure!
Thanks Sandra, I hope so! 😊
Yarnbombing in collaboration with the garden is even better because it means your items will mostly stay put and be even more appreciated.
Yes, that’s what I’m hoping 😊 and who knows where it might lead? 🌺💕🌸🦋🌼🐝
