ArchiPURLago and lilikoiknits stitching away at the #powwowhawaii yarnbomb

Whole Lotta Love

Pow Wow Hawai'i 2013 is underway and ArchiPURLago has been stitching away with the help of TheFUZZ! We'll do the big reveal later this week - for now, here are a couple of clues.

Granny² has been hooking away at a couple of yarnbombs for the #SheepishHeartBomb and at least one of them will pop up in the vicinity of Pow Wow Hawai'i!

Pow Wow Hawaii 2012 | Part II

Here are more pics from Pow Wow Hawaii. I just loooove how the Meter Monster turned out and the Spicket Dragon too! I'm a big fan of Amigurumi, and I made these the same way I would have made them if they were going to be stuffed... I guess they are stuffed; they're stuffed with metal. I think it's rad that they are now covered in something soft and fuzzy ;)

Pow Wow Hawaii 2012 | Part I

I had to sneak in on the all the fun going down during Pow Wow Hawaii this year. Pow Wow Hawaii is a global art event created and lead by Jasper Wong. The website describes Pow Wow as, "... a gathering of contemporary artists that engages with the broader community in the process and creation of art." This year they had over 50 artists, mostly with graffiti/street art backgrounds, from around the world come and do they're amazing mural magic all over the Kakaako district here in Honolulu. I thought it was fantastic... you can see for yourself.

I created several yarn bombs, this one was made up of about 60+ granny squares all sewn together to cover the city "bike" lock in front of Fresh Cafe and Loft in Space. 60 granny squares may not seem like a lot, but factor in that I made them—and my other yarn bombs—all in less than a week, and I'd say that I must have been working some magic of my own!
