yarn bombed trees...

So there I was…
Sitting in an outdoor food court in Sydney, Australia and I couldn’t help noticing how well-dressed the trees were!
I took a closer look and, darn, if these yarn bombs weren’t machine knit! I recognize that cast-on – the 'every other needle, hang the comb and bring all needles to work' one that I use on the LK150!
The main trunk of the tree was covered with one piece up to the first fork and very neatly seamed and then, the extra, thinner limbs were simply wrapped with a narrower piece but the graded colours and stripes were very nice with some thought going into the making! The added little motifs of crocheted hearts were the perfect extra touch!
If I had a tree in my back yard...
