Fancy a Yarn Bomb?

Have you walked by Arts Alive on Cole Street lately and noticed strange yarn cozies that appear to be keeping objects outside warm?

It's called yarn bombing. Click here to see a Time Magazine gallery of yarn bombing displays around the world.

Local artists Marty Wallace and Lorrie Maras hope to bring that creativity and burst of color to the streets here in Enumclaw and are hosting weekly knitting and crocheting sessions at Arts Alive for those interested to simply come down and knit. Or crochet.

Gallery manager Samantha Rheinford said people are welcome to use yarn that been donated as well as borrow needles to take home to do the work as well. If you have yarn to donate, even better.

The completed patches that people create will them be stitched together to create larger yarn bombing pieces.

If you've always wanted to learn to knit or crochet, what better way to get some free lessons?

Groups gather to work together at Arts Alive on Mondays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and on Saturdays from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

For more information, contact Wallace at 206-595-9883 or Maras at 253-332-5990. Or just head down to Arts Alive at 1429 Cole Street.
