How Will You Celebrate Yarn Bombing Day?

Hey, this weekend marks the first-ever International Yarn Bombing Day—got any plans? Magda Sayeg (nope, not Olek) is long credited as starting the movement of knitting and crocheting items, and now Yarn Bombing is a full-on trend. We're told Yarn Bombers will be out in full force near MIchaels in Manhattan (808 Columbus Avenue) this Saturday afternoon, where the public is also invited to create blankets and wagon liners for the Starlight Children’s Foundation. After that, go rogue and Yarn Bomb your own neighborhood—though the trees probably don't need to be bundled up now that it's so hot out.
