Another Knit Wit completed! You Instagram detectives might’ve noticed that I ever so subtly changed the release date from July 1st to July 4th in my previous post. I could make up a charming story about why I set the day back but to be completely honest, I got distracted with life stuff and completely forgot the date! Ever do that? Think it’s one month only to find out it’s the next? Disconcerting and mine boggling! 😱 However the KnitWits are coming along wonderfully and I am super excited to release them into the world July 4th. 🌎🧶❣️ The first batch of KnitWits will be placed around parade and firework hot spots in Minnesota. Keep an eye on my Insta story for clues to where each KnitWit can be found. 🇺🇸❤️ Super important! Make sure to post a photo to social media of your new fiber friend w/ the hashtag #KnitWitAdventure and tag @Knitteapolis. ❤️ This way others can see which KnitWits have been found and which have yet to be discovered! #knitteapolis #guerrillaart #raok #kindnessiscontagious #yarnbombing #geocaching #guerrillakindness #exploremn #yarnbombing #guerrillaknitting #yarnbomb #yarnstorm #crochetallday #knittersgonnaknit #mncrochet #mnart #scavengerhunt #thisismymn #whimsy #yarnbombs #yarnbomber #minnesota #spreadlove #smilesformiles (at Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzbW45snJ-3/?igshid=kclfyxw2fw37

Had a wonderful time at Jefferson Park with The Spread Sunshine Gang yesterday! Here’s a sweet pic of two kiddos enjoying the furry caterpillar yarnbomb I put up on the playground. They “helped” me install a couple more after this. 😊 #knitteapolis #yarnbombing #thespreadsunshinegang @thespreadsunshinegang #yarnbombs #fuzzycaterpillar #fiberart #fiberartist #yarnbomb #richfieldmn #mnart #raok #guerrillaart #guerrillakindness #playgroundart #yarnstorm #yarnart #knittersgonnaknit #hungryhungrycaterpillar #eyelashyarn #capturemn #exploremn #guerrillaknitting #streetartist #streetart #crochetalldayeveryday (at Jefferson Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw2Aw4vFb-j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xprpbtvhb5cj

Tomorrow is the 4th annual Bundle Up MN! Tomorrow the Random Act of Kindness groups @thespreadsunshinegang & @thisliferocks will be distributing all the warm winter items we’ve been gathering throughout the year around Loring Park in downtown MPLS. Thank you so much to all who donated new and gently used winter gear such as hats, scarves, mittens & gloves, boots, and coats! Each item will be left out in Loring Park w/ a tag that says “I’m not lost! Take me. #bundleupmn”. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come and pick up what they need. There’s no questions asked, no paperwork, and no human interaction. People are welcome to come get what you need to stay warm, safe, and dry during our cold MN winters. If you have any winter gear you‘d like to donate, please DM myself or @thespreadsunshinegang! We will be doing another round later on this winter. #randomactofkindness #thespreadsunshinegang #thisliferocks #knitteapolis #peoplehelpingpeople #raok #mnnice #bekind #itsnicetobenice #spreadlove #smilesformiles #loveoneanother #guerrillakindness #mplsmn #minneapolis #thisismymn #capturemn #minnesotaexposure #minnesotalife #minnesotanice #mnwinter (at Loring Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsjiyk2lJ_Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nf9w4hbdtobi

Inspired by the incredibly kind and talented @thisliferocks, I decided to yarnbomb some rocks and place them all over the Twin Cities! 🌺 Some are left in plain sight like this fancy fella while others are tucked away behind potted plants, next to chairs, or under other rocks. If you find a snazzy stone on your travels, join in on the #guerrillaart fun and place it in a new spot. 💫 For more super sweet rock art and just general feel good #randomactofkindess goodness, follow @thisliferocks. 🌟 #guerrillakindness #thisliferocks #liferocks #guerrillaknitting #yarnbomb #yarnbombing #knitteapolis #crochetallday #goodvibesonly #yarnbombs #randomactofkindess #crochetfun #mncrochet #crochetersofig #smilesformiles #mnart #thisismymn #mnnice #bekind #gaviidae #downtownmpls #mplsdowntown (at Dayton YMCA at Gaviidae) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_XJOLFVEU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c8qd9xed5yss

A couple years ago I had an opportunity to hear an incredible woman speak about folks experiencing homelessness in the Twin Cities. She talked about breaking stereotypes, her life working in a shelter, and made us question everything we thought about the homeless. It was really interesting to hear everyone’s thoughts and views in our group. Some kept cash or non-perishable food in their car specifically to give to people asking for help on the side of the road. Others shared that they were told not to give strangers money and felt conflicted when they saw people panhandling. One younger gal shared that she was told by her father to check the person’s shoes. If their shoes looked fancy or a good brand than she shouldn’t give that person money.... This incredibly kind woman listened to everyone without judgement but opened up everyone’s minds. She had many powerful stories to share but I think the biggest thing she said that really stuck with me is that there are no “homeless people”. There are only people experiencing homelessness. I was thinking about that talk a couple days ago and decided to repurpose one of my yarnbombs for a better cause. This pretty pink blanket & pillow are from a bench yarnbomb I created for the @rosedalecenter #rosedaleyarnbomb. Both pillow and blanket were in great condition after I took down the installation so instead of zip tying them to the bench like I normally would when yarnbombing, I’ve left them exactly as they are. There’s a large population of people experiencing homelessness in St. Paul and my hope is that someone in need will find the blanket & pillow and be able to use them. 💗 I’ve decided I’m going to start leaving more blankets around the city on benches. If you have any extra warm blankets or pillows, please think of donating them to a shelter or leaving them on a bench for someone in need, they will be greatly appreciated. ❤️ A reminder that @thespreadsunshinegang are doing fantastic random acts of kindness year round! If you’d like to do some good with some amazing people, definitely check them out.☀️ #raok #repurpose #stpaulmn #guerrillakindness #guerrillaknitting #randomactsofkindness #bethechangeyouwish (at Saint Paul, Minnesota)
