Happy Sad

Today we're a little bit sad.
One of our tree cosies has vanished. I suppose that is part of any yarn bomber's life.
We know that someone had an eye on this one. It had been unpicked before and we went back to stitch it back up again. So there you go, someone really liked it. And that's a good thing. It actually makes us a wee bit proud that after only a short time of guerilla knitting in Tauranga people want our craft.
Nevertheless we're dissappointed as our intention was to take it down when we put the next one up and auction it for charity.....

So this goes to the person who took the tree cosy:
'Dear Treecosy-Taking-Knitbomb-Lover, if you like yarnbombing so much, please join us. We can always use a helping hand to make Tauranga more beautiful and fluffy. If craft is not your thing then maybe you can auction the cosy on behalf of the CBA and give the money to a good course, or give the cosy to a good course (like someone who really needs it, a photo would be lovely) or just hand it back (drop it off at Grindz, would you).
Well, as much as as we appreciate a fan base, we try to do this stuff for everyone's enjoyment. So please for the future, leave the knit tags up. This way a lot of people can see them and we can turn them into a good course, too.
Thank you very much!

Now on a happier note (and there always is one because sad thing just happen sometimes) we are on schedule with the next installation. Thanks to visiting yarnbombers Strickliesel and the Knitman. Loveley friends from Europe who happily knit away while we have to go after our real jobs....
