Bolder Boulder

This past Memorial Day weekend I visited my sister who lives outside of Boulder, Colorado. I knew I wanted to yarn bomb something in Boulder so I looked on online. I came across this "Bull Elk" statue by Jim Agius. I thought it would be great to knit the Elk leg warmers that looked like tube socks.Since I had never seen the statue personally I had to guess what size to make these leg wamers. Luckily they fit!

As I was installing them my sister remembered that the very next day in Boulder was a huge marathon! What amazing coincidence that my yarn bomb worked really well with the neighborhood theme that weekend!

Happy to help this elk get ready to run in the Bolder Boulder.

I Feel Pretty

...dinosaurs lookin' fine.


My Monday night SnB is held at Laughing Planet where they have toy dinosaurs on each table to play with. I can't believe I didn't think of it earlier, but it dawned on me to knit them clothes.

Parasaurolophus got the hipster hat.


Pachycephalosaurus needed some boxing gloves.


Ankylosarus wanted a shredded sweater to go over his spikes.


Stegosaurus loved her handspun 80s inspiried leg warmers.


Triceratops looks darling in her new sparkly pink bonnet!


Scelidosarus needed spikes to continue down his tail.


Brachiosaurus got a nice ruffle cowl.
