When I was growing up we had this set of encyclopedias for kids.
We used Volume 5, "Things to Make and Things To Do", regularly. Angie would say "you kids go find something to do" and we would pull it out to expand our minds and entertain ourselves. It contained instructions for activities like how to make a dog bed, or how to fish from a bank or a moored boat, how to play huckle, buckle, beanstalk, how to make and hang a mobile, and how to tell a joke.
There was not however, a chapter called "how to make a sweater for a chair".
This chair got yarn bombed at the knitting retreat. I thought it was a great idea. I'm going to start one at home. I think it will be perfect for my art room.
This officially closes my reports on the 2012 knitting retreat. Until I post what I made with the yarn I bought that is. Don't forget to mark your calendars for the last weekend in January of 2013 if you want to go next year. Thanks all you generous people from the studio for making this event happen on an annual basis. It's something I look forward to every year.
I love the chair. Can't wait to see what you do for your art room.

Ha! Love it! There is an outdoor sculpture down the street from me that has been yarn bombed. :)

Do you remember the time we did the HOW TO SLIDE DOWN A CHIMNEY and you got stuck?

It never occurred to me to yarn bomb my own furniture. Interesting!

No Sister, I do not recall getting stuck in the chimney. I think that must have been you and dottie who did that. I would have been way to smart to have tried that one.

So cool! I've been thinking about painting my office chair- but this would be perfect! If only I could knit. ;-)
