Do you remember when Jessie Hemmons yarn-bombed the Philadelphia Museum of Art? Now, this Philly-based crafter and installation artist is teaching the world her ways through an online class on yarn bombing. Whether you'd like to create a funky piece of art for your home by yarn bombing a deer head or make a political statement by crocheting swimsuits for public statues, this course is for you! The class can be completed online at your own pace, with lessons on choosing your project, making accurate patterns and even a refresher course on knitting and crocheting.
Get the details on this fun yarn bombing class and learn how to sign up at Jessie's site, Ishknits.

This class will be taught with self paced online lessons, which will include:

  • how to select a great object to yarnbomb, taking into consideration the practicality, message, and feasibility of the project
  • how to collect accurate measurements and create a pattern for your project.
  • a refresher course in the basics of knitting and crochet (for those that are interested)
  • details of installing a yarnbomb, from crew to time
  • how to document and share your yarnbomb

This class is great for knitters, crocheters, yarn enthusiasts, street artists, artists, grandparents, non-grandparents, teachers, neighbors, community activists, people with a sense of humor, and positive folks interested in brightening their surroundings!
