I found the most intriguing birthday party invitation in my email box a few weeks ago from Sarah:
Who: you + sig oth's, if they're into ninja-style secret missions!
What: it's a secret mission! a secret mission that necessitates you bringing a ball of yarn (or 2) in a lovely color!
When: February 20th, let's say 2:00ish
Where: at the spiral walkway, just north of the corner of MacArthur + Van Buren in Oakland.
Why: because this project is sure to bring charm + cheer!
We showed up with our balls of yarn--red for me, periwinkle for Will--and celebrated Sarah's birthday by knitting lots of hearts on the spiral walkway's chain link fence.
We knit and knit, big hearts and little hearts, filling up the fence. Isn't this such a lovely birthday party celebration?
A lovely celebration, for the lovely Sarah.
And then? We enjoyed our handiwork from the street.
And gathered for a big group photo.

{And these two, too}
Making the world a lovelier place, one ball of yarn at a time. ♥
What a cute idea!

This is such a good idea! I love it! A random person walking by would immediately wonder why they were there and it would be an interestingly cute conversation piece!
