Rock Yarn Bomb in Wilmington, DE

(corner of Green Hill & Pennsylvania Ave)

finished rock!

There once was a displaced rock that waited to be reconnected with her wall....

Spring had sprung and the flowers were blooming...

felted flowers with button centers

Then one day someone came to visit the rock and wrapped it with warm felted wool (it does get chilly in the evenings during springtime), embellished with a crocheted vines and flowers and returned it to its home on the wall...

Now the rock is warm and safe and hopefully is bringing a smile to weary commuters faces as they travel to and from work and school in downtown Wilmington!

If you happen to drive by....stop to visit the gardens at Gibraltar and the gardens at University of Delaware, Wilmington campus (both are located at this corner of Pennsylvania Ave & Green Hill Road). 

A Desire For Spring...

This weekends beautiful dusting of snow has melted and left behind freezing temperatures and blustery winds. So this week I decided to add a little color and thoughts of spring in my 'yarn bomb' by adding flowers.

I knitted a band to wrap around a tree just off the parking lot of WYRA (Wilmington Youth Rowing Association) where my daughter, Kelly, rows crew.

Christina River

The boat house host the WYRA crew teams (novice & varsity), University of Delaware Crew and St. Marks crew team....needless to say, it is a busy place!

A parting shot of the empty dock...too cold to go out on the river but spring season is a few weeks away!
