There is a Lobethal Community Web facebook page with alot more photographs of the Yarnbomb - take a peek here Lobethal Community Web FB

Mill Square has been Yarnbombed!

Lobethal Kindy Tree

We got an early start on installing webs on the weekend - really happy with the result. The rainbow effect on the trees looks fabulous!

Not long to go ...

Here's a beautiful felted web - an example of those submitted to us by Torrens Primary School students. We have also received some beautiful handspun wool webs from the Gumeracha Spinners and Weavers and over 140 webs from a group of women from the Lobethal Retirement Village!! Not long now - we're getting excited!

Our Queensland web has flown across the country and landed in our postbox ....   it has  blue in the centre representing the Great Barrier Reef with some jelly fish attached, and the flowers are the Queensland flower which is the Cooktown Orchid. Lovely! thanks Alison.

One of the lovely pieces created at the Pear tree and Partridge Cafe ...

Sala coming soon ...

Sala guide arrived today - we're on page 25 - how exciting!

The Pear tree and Partridge Cafe closed tomorrow so Coffee and Crochet at the market 2pm - if you'd like to join us.

 

The theme at 'Coffee and Crochet' today?      Pretty Webs!

How lovely ... Our first interstate web is on its way - thanks Alison.

"Have finished my web and will be sending it off soon. I want to tell you that my web is about Queensland, as it has the blue in the centre for the Great Barrier Reef with some jelly fish attached, and the flowers are the Queensland flower which is the Cooktown Orchid"

It's on again tomorrow - Coffee and Crochet at the Pear tree and Partridge Cafe, Main street, Lobethal.
2pm - 4pm by the open fire, yummy cake, conversation and creativity - yeah! All Welcome...

Last week we suspended webs in hoops made from grapevine!



Even the blokes got involved!

 Lots of communal creativity at the Lobethal Produce Share last week as members had a go at making 'organic webs' using wool and willow and woolly pom poms for the 'Community web' yarnbomb. Fun had by all!

This week - Coffee and Crochet, 2.00pm - 4.00pm at the Pear tree and Partridge Cafe.

Thanks lovely ladies at SO TACKI in the main street of Lobethal for agreeing to be a collection point for completed items for the yarn bomb.

There will also be a collection point in the Lobethal Markets for weekends.

Another example of our local businesses supporting our local projects - remember to support our local businesses when you can!

Wow!

We've registered with SALA ...

' A yarn bombing installation composed of colourful, intricate webs symbolising the interconnectedness of community, and paying homage to the past & to traditional crafting skills'.

Calling all crochet folk...

We are dressing up our Old Woollen Mill  in Lobethal for SALA (South Australlian Living Artists festival) in August 2013. The plan is to yarn bomb Mill Square, the lawn area in front of the Mill.

Woollen webs will be hung around the lawns to symbolise community connections - to the heritage of the Woollen Mill and to each other. Why not connect with your community through crochet - make a web (or two or three)!

Additional Fibre Artists to create unique webs also encouraged to participate.
