Aaaa, so I also failed to mention that yesterday I stopped by CAFAM and dropped off some merchandise! I can proudly say that I have crochet amigurumi and boleros being sold at a MUSEUM! 8D Check it out, it will be available starting today, with the opening of the Granny Squared exhibit, and will possibly be available until July 1 when the exhibit is taken down.

So sorry for the shotty and quick upload of photos, but I thought I'd at least share here on DA what's going on. Follow my twitter for updates on the go! I'll be documenting my day today: meowkernaut.twitter.com

For those of you who may or may not know... On May 25, the LA Craft and Folk Art Museum (CAFAM) is going to be completely yarn bombed! Our kickstarter/funding went through, and of course, people from ALL OVER THE WORLD have participated in this delightful 'bomb'. Check out an article written by one of the Yarn Bombing LA members, for more fun tidbits about this installation:

Hello yarn artists!

My friend, Timothy Sellers, the singer/songwriter/lead guitarist for the band, Artichoke, is looking for yarn bombers who may be interested in doing a yarnbomb for their music video! They're hoping to get it done before sometime in October. If interested, please contact:

"yarnbombing my guitar, amp, and ME would be awesome for a song. we could maybe do it so that it can all be pulled off for a backwards video effect?

we can skip the amp if that would help. alternatively, we could do the entire band + equipment if people are feeling very ambitious. but i might vote to keep it smaller in scope and do an amazing job : )"
