Jazz and Jumpers

July 19th and 20th visited Warwick for the annual Jazz and Jumpers
festivities. What a blast! The festival is held once a year and has been running for 10 years. Finally I made it down there and I wasn't disappointed.

Doily Craft Action on 116


Well it happened Mish and I boarded the 116 at approx. 7.47 am only 4mins behind bus schedule and went all the way to the Valley.
Had a yarn with Harriet,Sheryl,Ruthie and Gillian.
I conducted my informal survey and got some interesting feedback.
Those four women are happy with the service and each received a doily for their time to answer the survey.
Both the bus drivers there and back were most helpful with directions, honesty and good humour.
The back seats were covered with doilies and softened the corporate look of BCC, providing a welcoming space to encourage chat.
No time for blog right now as I think its all about the pics and MisH has had to attend to the real job. The freelance gig has to wait.
Keep in the loop for action shots sometime soon.

Yarnbomb Action Details

Mish Photography and I plan to board the 116 from Hamlet Street.

Annerley, the previously yarn bombed bus shelter (ideally I would have the photo here of the the stop, post yarn bomb denuding--

too late to solve technical issues with camera as I need to press the doilies and get my beauty sleep.)

The scheduled bus is for 7.43 am. 

If your running late don't worry the bus probably will be also.

See you there with a splash of knitting as apparel and I will give you a wink and a nod.

Look out for article in Southside News as it comes out tomorrow.

This could be the follow up story as we undertake qualitative research.

Never know the BCC may take Mish and I up for further paid research.

Wish us luck. Goodnight.

PS we are only doing half the 116 bus route due to lack of funding.

Today is Day 1 of my blog. Time for action. 

Rationale: a personal journey and record for myself of the creative process. Who reads blogs anyway.

Day one of my world of blogging starts with a craft activism approach. Who would have thought covering a bus shelter in knitting could get the city of Brisbane so excited.
After lunch with a long time friend and time on our hands we collected a bag full of knitting (left over from a community project A Close Knit for Brisbane festival 2010) and mischief in our hearts to quietly and colourfully cover the bus stop and make a statement.A good idea was enacted with a bold response.
