#mnstatefair17

~Sunset Dinosaur~ I was installing my yarnbomb exhibition on the Grandstand ramp during the rain and heavy wind yesterday and was rewarded w/ a beautiful sun setting directly behind my pink & blue dinosaur. 💖💙💜 A few folks messaged me asking if yesterday's rain affected the installation, I'm happy to say it didn't at all! I put on my bathing suit & some shorts and worked through the rain. Acrylic yarn is water proof so the only tricky part was that crazy wind but it kept me cool so I was happy. :) #alwayslookonthebrightsideoflife #sunsetsky #cloudlovers #cloudporn #pinkdino #pinkdinosaur #dinodna #dinosaurtheme #knitteapolis #yarnbomb #mnstatefair #yarnbombs #mnstatefair17 #statefairpeople #captureminnesota #yarnbomber #exploremn #grandstand #minnesotastatefair #mnart #yarnbombing #craftylife #mnnice #streetartist #yarnaddict #pinkyarn #raok #smilesformiles #thisismymn #thegreatmngettogether #thegreatmnknittogether #publicart #puremidwest #midwestsunset #midwestisbest (at Minnesota State Fair)

It took me 6 tries to get this photo! The wind kept knocking the yarn over and then I'd have to go scamper down the Grandstand ramp chasing after the skeins. 😛I'm sure it was pretty good entertainment to anyone watching below. I wanted to get this photo though to show off the exciting rainbow yarn that I bought yesterday! I'll be using these skeins to knit the giant sign that will be hanging on the oval at the top of the ramp. The sign will be approximately 20 feet long so I wanted to make sure that the yarn I chose was fun, soft, and colors I wouldn't get sick of after the 1,345th row. 😉I'm having so much fun making #theGreatMNKnitTogether yarnbomb for the @mnstatefair. I can't wait until August for the fair to open! If you'd like to be apart of the yarnbomb I have a horse topiary with your name on it! You're welcome to knit or crochet a piece of fiber art to add to the community horse yarnbomb that will be on display as part of MN's largest yarnbomb.

I had so much fun being interviewed by @twincitieslive and creating a custom #TwinCitiesLIVE yarnbomb for them LIVE on air! I've never created a yarnbomb on camera before and was a little nervous. The timing worked out perfectly though and I sewed on the last crochet flower just 3 minutes before we displayed the finished yarnbomb! Thanks for having me on the show #TCL. #thegreatmnknittogether #knitteapolis #tclive #mnstatefair #mnstatefair17 #thegreatminnesotaknittogether #thegreatmngettogether #statefairpeople #crochetallthethings #happyhooker #crochetfun #craftylife #mnart #mnnice #mnsummer #yarnbomb #yarnbombs #fiberartist #fiberart #yarnart #yarnbombing #yarnbomber #publicart #puremidwest #minnstagram #minnstagrammers #warmfuzzies #exploremn #stpaulmn #minnesotastatefair #kstp #abc (at Twin Cities Live)

Welcome to the Minnesota State Fair! Today is the very first day and it has been going wonderfully! The fiber art looks on point and I've already had the pleasure of chatting with Sven from Kare11 this morning. Everything smells like delicious and I've already pet 2 goats and hugged a llama. In other words, it's been a really good morning. 😃 A reminder to take a photo of you and your friends on the grandstand ramp posing with the yarnbomb! Post it to social media with the hashtag #TheGreatMinnesotaKnitTogether and you will be entered to win gift cards to local restaurants and shops! #thegreatmngettogether #mnstatefair #mnstatefair17 #statefairpeople #knitteapolis #yarnart #yarnbomb #welcome #allarewelcomehere #allarewelcome #yarnbombs #yarnbombing #spreadthelove #mnsummer #captureminneapolis #capturemn #exploremn #statefair #happyhooker #publicart #smilesformiles #mnnice #yarnstorm #yarnbomber #puremidwest #thisismymn (at Minnesota State Fair)
