I spotted this piece of yarn bombing in Copenhagen. It is really cold….so I guess princess Lea needed to warm up her legs.
Cool people who made this!

Cool knitting graffiti spotted in Amsterdam.
All the good things knitting graffiti supports:
* Ensuring towns are soft, warm and fun places to be in
* It is reusable
* It takes control of the aesthetes without being intrusive
* Not expensive to remove (council can use the money on libraries…instead of removing painted tags)
* Of the moment (rain a couple of days and…)
I can only recommend reading “Yarn Bombing” by Mandy Moore and Leanne Prain or watching this youtube video on the topic…
This is my first Baby Surprise Jacket, but not the last.
I followed the pattern from Elizabeth Zimmermann’s – The Opinionated Knitter. I found the pattern was a little difficult to follow and I therefore had good help from Dawn Adcock’s notes.
When my dear mother in law saw my project – she gave me these lovely buttons. The yarn I used was Superwash Wool. The green wool: Lorna’s laces, color: 3507.
All that is needed now is a child to test the jacket on as I had no child to measure on while knitting… Does this make me an exploring knitter – just focusing on the pattern and not the use of the final product? Or just a knitter who also wants to be able to write Baby Surprise Jacket on her knitting CV…
This pattern is fun and truely surprising…
Knitting seems to put things in a new perspective…
