I have been playing around with craft relevant words for a while, for instance I call Knitting Needles 'Kneedles' to separate them from sewing needles, and Crochet Hooks could be shortened to 'Crooks', I refer to myself as Bi-stitchual as I can knit and crochet (though I prefer crochet) and some have called our Crafty Graffiti 'Yarnarchistic'.... well just this morning I accidentally wrote it as 'Craftiti' instead of Graffiti which acknowledges the craftiness that uses recycled materials as well as yarn.... wonder if it will stick at all?
Oh I am a Happy Hooker,
Craftiti is my fun,
I like to bomb creatively
and inspire everyone!
So pick up your crooks and kneedles,
some fibres, and from a fellow crafter,
learn to ravel it into lovely knots,
and craft happily ever after : )
If you don't know anyone to learn a Yarn Craft from try looking for your local Stitch and Bitch Group, or go to Youtube for online tutorials, and especially check out http://www.nexstitch.com/v_crochet_videos.html.
As a resident of Hay-on-Wye I especially love the open-mindedness and eccentricity that pervades our community. I will be putting this to the test with small bursts of Yarn 'Graffiti' (each one a Work Of Heart) attached to other-wise dull structures and willing places of interest around town. The intention is to inspire a Yarn Craft Revival and put a smile on the faces of the Locals, as well as the Visitors to our lovely town.
