The view across City Square

The City of Melbourne is pretty awesome.

Rainbow trees

Incidentally, this leave motif is one I’m currently using for a friend’s blanket.

This peach and orange crochet looks amazing against the metal.

I have to admit, I sometimes question the point of knitted graffiti or yarn bombing. I can’t help but wonder the time spent creating them would be better spent making more practical items like clothing.

And then I come across something like the Rainbow Trees above. I instantly smiled when I spied it from Flinders Lane and still smile when I pass it, even though it’s been up a couple of weeks. Practically isn’t everything; if only a tenth of people walking past smile, this project was time very well spent.
