My friends over at
Yarn Bombing Los Angeles are at it again.
Last year, they covered the
Craft and Folk Art Museum with Granny Squares.
This year, they're asking you to
Put a Ring On It!
From their website:
"Do you remember the childhood saying, “if you love it so much, why don’t you marry it?”
Inspired by the Beyonce song,
Put a Ring on It asks what do
you value so much that you would want to put a ring on it? What do you
want to highlight in your life, that usually goes unrecognized?
It can be any person, place, or thing. Is there a great old building
you’d like to see preserved? A favorite food only your grandmother made?
The sunset over the ocean? Don’t just knit a literal yarn engagement
ring – we want to see the unexpected and the under-appreciated!
YBLA wants you to put a knit or crochet ring on what you love and
take a photo of it. YBLA wants photos of knit & crochet (yarn art,
whatever) rings attached to the objects of your love. YBLA wants YOUR
story about why you love what you love.
Make a ring, attach it, take a photo,
send it to us. Looking for inspiration, or a place to begin? Check out our
pattern library.
The introduction of
Put a Ring on It will be in a gallery
exhibition at the Manhattan Beach Creative Art Center, June 2014. Please
send us a picture of your ring by
May 1, 2014 to be included in the exhibition."
By the way, my ring-themed link-up is still live. I'm extending the deadline to May 1st, just like YBLA.
It's not just about patterns. Any sort of visual that is ring-like will do!
