Yarn bombing at The Night Oven Bakery

When my friends Bryn Rawlyk and Beth Cote opened The Night Oven Bakery a couple of months ago, I wanted to send a congratulatory message to acknowledge the culmination of all their hard work.  As a fibre artist, I set out to say it with yarn!

For a street pole adjacent to the bakery, I took inspiration from The Night Oven's logo that was created by Ben Lamothe, and knit a crescent moon. For the block letters, I used the free patterns you can find here.

I decided the parking lot could use some colour so I also knit covers for the cement post and drainpipe. The result is a tapestry of the colourful collections of acrylic yarn that I have inherited from various friends, relatives and neighbours. Some of it has even been recycled from my last yarn bombing project, demonstrating the resilience of that good old acrylic!

                    

            

I had a great team that helped me do all of the installation. Armed with darning needles, a ladder, staple gun and zip ties, we got the job done.

      

Now take my advice and head over to The Night Oven Bakery, check out the installation, buy an amazing loaf of bread and treat yourself to a croissant and a latte!
