46 Hampden Park Yarnbomb Hearts - July 2012

Hey guys,

As you may know, a rather large sporting event is taking place in London this year!

Up here in Scotland, there's not much buzz so we decided to do something about it!

Several lovely ladies and groups have come together to decorate Hampden Park area for the football and I sent some wee "sporty" coloured hearts along to the event!

The lovely ladies turned my hearts into a mobile along with some cute pom-poms!

Hope you like :)

I'm so glad I could take part!

Well, I'm off to click, click, click away! I've knitted the base for my first piece for The Yarnvent Calendar 2012! I'm so excited! I'm putting a little Shadow_Stitch twist on my pieces this year! Eeeek! Can't wait to share! Less than 5 months to go!

Shadow, Sunshine, Love.

38 Electra Heart Yarnstorm - 5th May 2012

Hey Guys!

Recently I have became obsessed with Marina & The Diamonds and her new album "Electra Heart" is an awesome body of work!

I really wanted to do something to promote the album, like I did this time last year in project 8 for Simon Curtis!

So I decided to knit 16 hearts - 1 for each track on the album! I made 8 black hearts, marking the signature heart on Electra's cheek. I then made 8 hearts in a Bubblegum (Bitch!) Pink colour to reflect the albums imagery/colourscape for the promotion!

To finish the campaign off and make a bigger statement. I took reference from the song "Teen Idle" that opens with "I wanna be a bottle blonde..." and made an Electra-esque Bottle Blonde hairpiece and hairband. I then finished this off with a Bubblegum Bubble referencing opening track "Bubblegum Bitch" and put both pieces on a statue near the heart yarnstorm.

I hope you all like! The support from Marina & The Diamonds fanpages/accounts has been outstanding!

Let's get "Electra Heart" to number 1! An amazingly crafted album of dark lyrics over sugary pop beats, dark moments, happy moments, love, heartbreak- Marina has a way with words and the voice to carry them off! Please do check it out!

I really hope you all enjoyed this yarnbomb! If you like the songs, go support Marina and buy the album! It truly is AMAZING!

I'll leave you now with my favourite track performed acoustically! DAM that girl can sing!

See you all soon!

Shadow, Sunshine, Love.

19 Pink Candy - Tree Of Happiness 14th July 2011

Hey Shadows!

Hope you all enjoyed yesterdays yarnbombs and the lovely weather we had too! It was a lovely day to go exploring for them hehe! I hear the Katy Perry I-pod was gone by mid-day??!!

Anyway, today we have a Pink Candy Tree Of Happiness that is especially for a Shadow follower (@X_pinkcandy_x on twitter) who kindly asked me to knit her some Pink Candy a very long time ago. More recently she exclaimed that she would really like some Sunshine and Love, so here it is! Hope she likes and that the rest of you enjoy too!



As I said, I hope you all enjoy and perhaps go a stroll to look for it in the Gardens. Perhaps you'll also see yesterdays ShadowHeart, SunshineHeart and LoveHeart yarnbomb! It looks like another lovely day so I'm off to enjoy it!

See you all soon - still working away on the next few projects!

Shadow, Sunshine, Love
