Yarnvent Calendar 24-20 Days

I had been thinking of yarn bombing a bit for Christmas. When I first heard of Yarnvent Calendar from @Nightknitpixie it was the answer to my idea. At first I thought it was quite the undertaking but as the month unfolded I got bigger ideas. It evolved with some undertones of the "12 Days of Christmas". Watch it unfold with me.

24 Days Until Christmas

24: I chose to start as a count down until Christmas. The challenge was counting backwards without skipping days luckily there is an app for my pixie phone. You can slightly read "Days" and @pixie_bomber. I purposely chose the "Along Colby" statues due to high foot traffic from Starbucks. With 3 little girls it gave me a great canvas to add to.

23 Days

23: I bombed this last summer while it was still operating and got a bit drippy. I was pleased to see it off for my bombing. A friend helped me hang the wreath inside the fountain at a busy intersection (Colby/Hewitt). I had a dream of a wreath within a wreath, but this little fellla was removed a few days later. 

22 Days

22:  The story is he was a dance instructor to decades to the families in Everett. Below he is holding a chair. I was told his name is Mike Johnson.This statue has been bombed once by me already and will be bombed more this month. It reminded me of  "Holiday Inn" so I made him a bell for a white Christmas.


21: Below is a series of photos from 21 days until Christmas. I decided to make 21 bombs for 21 days in theme of my calendar. i posted on Facebook that I needed help one evening and was blessed to have my friend from earlier return and a mother with 3 children. Kids make yarn bombing so much fun. I made the mistake of mentioning a cop was near and the youngest seemed stated that we might get arrested. So we split the adults and kids, divided the street and conquered it.

 I didn't know there was a squirrel statue. Joel found him and gave him a wreath.

He became my favorite for the day.

20 Days

20: I got brave and decided to put a few bombs in Snohomish County campus which houses the government offices (background) and Court House (off photo on right). I was prepared to step away from the knitting. This here is an interpretation on Curious George. He got a bra once for Making Strides for Breast Cancer. I must say his bra was his best look. His ornament is one of the few that denote the purpose of the yarn bomb. It was my attempt at education/awareness.
