What an amazing sight. Did you make one of the blankets?
Sarah, I wish I had learned how to knit just to participate in this project! Maybe I should give it a try...
Wonder if there's ever been an embroidery-bomb project?
Wow! What an amazing sight, Cathy!
I've read about those yarn bombs....but so fun to see it on the bridges of Pittsburgh. It seems like the "Pitt" is experiencing a bit of a Renaissance of it's own!!
Have a wonderful day, Cathy!!!
