Yarn Bombing in North Iowa

17 Comments/ 3138/ 0

A couple years ago I posted a post about Yarn Bombing—I was taken in by the great concept of “decorating” outside spaces with colorful yarn.  I even saw some on a trip to Napa and posted a picture there.  What fun it is to see creative people use their craft to beautify spaces.   Last weekend Chris and I took a side trip to Clear Lake to see the Classic Car Show (that is a post for another day) and I asked him to stop at Central Gardens of North Iowa on the way out of town.  I always like to stop there and see what they have growing and have done a couple of other posts on the beautiful displays that are often part of this ever changing garden.  Many volunteers with busy hands make it a place for the rest of us to enjoy.

Imagine my surprise when I saw yarn bombing on the front gates!   Enjoy all of the beauty that the gardens have to offer.

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...
