Yarn Bombing

Step 2 Getting Ready to Release Your Knits

Once you've gotten your piece made, it's time for the prep. If you have a blog or a knit graffiti name (Mine is Dark Knitious, of course. :D ) you may want to make paper tags to put on your piece to identify just who made it. For my first tag ever, I embroidered a piece of felt with a tiny image of Darth Vader and sewed it onto the tag to show just how special it was. I haven't done that with any others, but I do leave a paper tag with my blog url on it.

After attaching the paper tag, one thing that you will find that makes the while process much faster is to prep the piece for putting up. After finishing, I always leave a long tail on the piece and pre-thread it with a large tapestry needle. That way at the site I only have to take the tag out of my tote and there's already a needle and thread attached so I can get right to sewing! Just be sure to remember your needle! You don't want to leave it behind!

Roll the tags up and put them in a tote along with extra needles, scissors and your camera!
