Oh where can you be?

I officially yarn-bombed another trail around King Rd in Waterdown, Ontario.  My red-capped mushroom was lovingly placed atop a tree trunk a few days ago, in perfect view for hikers.  My 'shroom' was tagged...said my final farewells and proceeded on my hike.  Darn it all, didn't I forget my camera..Arghhh

Anyways, upon return to that same trail today, my red 'shroom' had vanished from its home...PFUFF out of thin air... outa site.  That's ok - no hard feelings.  Perhaps a dog took a liking to it or better yet, a human took it home...or kindly relocated it to another portion of the trail.  Guess it shall remain a mystery.

If anyone out there spots it, do share your thoughts or 'schroom's' location with us!  And...watch out for more Trailknits!

Introduction to TrailKnits

Welcome to a new knitting blog - rather,  a new yarn graffiti blog, for the sole purpose of embellishing hiking trails.  The idea dawned on me this fall, while strolling through Ontario's fabulous Bruce Trail.  Countless hours were logged, hiking through leafless & flowerless forests.  What could I do about this?  Then it dawned on me to attempt a yarn bombing experiment or as I prefer calling it: trail knitting!  Thus the name: TrailKnits!

SO, watch out for some creative & fun little knits hanging from tree limbs, trail signs, rocks, fields, bridges or whatever we may come across in our travels through beautiful Ontario's hiking trails....

Should you hikers happen to cross paths with our "TrailKnits", feel free to admire the works, move them to a new part of the trail, take pictures and by all means, please do drop us a line - we'd love to hear from you!

Happy hiking!
