RECYCLED SILK

I got this bundle of colourful joy from a shop called 'Happy Herbal High' in Cairns, Queensland, Australia.

 Look at the colours!

They have a store in Camden too. 

Which is good, as I feel I need more than the one ball already.

Knitted Bikes

Spotted on my recent visit to Australia.
Along one of the main roads of Adelaide's town centre, this wonderful creations really added a great vibe to the street and drew me in like crazy to get a closer look at all the details that had been put into them.

 This blue beauty was the first I noticed, then the rest followed. 

Looking at it I wondered how long it took.  Well, the ones that I saw afterwards really stole the question when I saw them...

 This flowered beauty was amazing...

 I can't imagine how long it must have taken to knit all those loops for these wheels!

Check out these crafty little guys on the wheels!

Bikes, Knitting, Nature :)

 This chap didn't have so much decoration on his frame, but the fantastic idea of turning the bull bars into a bull is shear genius!  WHAT a mane...

 This rainbow bike was so eye-catching! A whole sky scene on one wheel vehicle:

 Check out the rad disc wheels:

 There was even a little owl nestled on the back wheel

  Then around the corner this little guy was lurking!

 I so want to make one! I wonder if these pieces are subject to 'yarn bombing' or a seperate project conconcted by locals to do something positive and cheerful with the adandoned bikes of the city?  I have so much respect for all the time spent knitting & crocheting all of these.  They're so much fun!
