I cannot wait to check this out. What an awesome project.
From The Record: “The entire installation will be up until Sept. 27 when it is to be removed — with the help of many volunteers, Sturdy hopes — to be laundered. Afterwards, many of the pieces will be distributed to local charities. ”
Awesome.

As some of you may have seen on TWITTER last night – i’m loving the Yarn-Bombing around town. I think it’s the best thing EVER!
Here’s the capture of a Stop Sign on Princess street wearing a pretty little yellow sweater:
and then today, i spotted this little gem while Ramy and i had lunch at the Princess cafe:
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve been slacking on the blogo huh peeps?
Sorry… here’s what my weeks been like:
The other day I went to go have a peek around the @TreehausCW Co-Work Space that they share with CTT.
Holy awesomeness Batman, this place is gorgeous, look at the washroom – it’s so cute!
and the kitchen! weirdo braille wall = love.
They had some tasty treats including these hilarious candy kebobs that Bry and I couldn’t resist.
Then last night I was at the UW School of Architecture in Cambridge and there was this giant cyclops eyeball in the foyer. It’s promoting an upcoming event… called The Cyclops. Show is on Friday July 30 and Saturday July 31, 2010. Details are HERE.
And then, my parents picked up their new pup. Ah, hello one of the cutest things ever:
Tonight – CINQ A SEPT!

IF you knit, you could help Cambridge set a new world record this Saturday….
FOR THE MOST PEOPLE KNITTING SIMULTANEOUSLY.
Saturday, June 19, 8 a.m.-12noon (record attempt will be at 10:30am)
Civic Square, Downtown Cambridge
Rain or shine – we will relocate into city hall in the case of inclement weather
Here’s the details:
You must be ready to knit in Civic Square beside Cambridge City Hall with two straight knitting needles by 10:30am. Please come before 10:30am to receive an official participant certificate and find spot to knit. After some brief presentations and a countdown we will all knit together for 15 minutes. Any non-knitters will be asked to exit the knitting area for this short time period so the final count is as accurate as possible. Bring a chair as there will only be a limited number available.
