I had never heard of this Yarn Bombing before I saw this article.   David Cole starting the trend in Melborne Australia when he decorated a bridge with knitting.  I would call those swatches for King Kong. :)   It has the look and feel of Christo from back in the 80′s

Recently, in the Boston Globe there was an article about some yarn bombers in the South End. I think ther knitting is quite creative.  It brings wild life to the city streets of Boston. We thought we would post the article encase you happened to miss it.   This is the link  Knitters on the Loose

We now have a forum where we can post any discrepancies noted in our patterns.  As hard as we try, corrections of typos are noted after the pattern has gone to press and  release to the knitting community.  Should you have a question regarding one of our patterns, please consult our forum or  e-mail us info@tillitomas.com.  We will contact our designer and update our pattern library.

Knitting Wrapsody Kristen Omdahl is releaseing a new book featuring patterns with a theme relating to items that can be wrapped, whether around the neck, shoulders, or waist.All of the garments incorporate interesting elements, from reversible stitch patterns and unique knitted edgings to interesting closures. Each project is knitted, but much of the aesthetic draws inspiration from the geometry, motifs, and techniques of crochet.

Some of the techniques are quite unusual and readers will benefit from watching the enclosed DVD to see some of them demonstrated before casting on for a project.

  The release date for A Knitting Wrapsody Book & DVD is January 22, 2011. You can pre-order it at amazon.com or Interweavestore.com, but if you want a personalized, signed copy for yourself or the knitter in your life, you can pre-order from me HERE.  (Pretty neat !)

 Surprise Hat
The pattern makes an adult hat using Tilli Tomas Mystery yarn. The Pattern is now available for free download on her website.

Marie at Stitch DC has designed a pattern called the “Surprise Hat She writes:

This hat is made with one skein of Tilli Tomas Mystery Ball. We have a bunch in stock and so fun and pretty! I call it a surprise hat for two reasons: 1. because the yarn changes every 10-15 yards and so each skein is a bit of a suprise mixing silks, boucle, beads and ribbons and 2) because at this time of year, we are often surprised and need an extra gift for someone who surprised you with a thoughtful gift.
