The Knitty Titty Committee!

No, I'm not talking about our boobs. I'm talking about knitting prosthesis for breast cancer survivors, a fantastic idea from Yorkshire Yarns!

The Knitty Titty Committee is an effort to help mastectomy patients obtain free or low-cost knitted prostheses instead of the traditional expensive, heavy silicone versions.

If you'd like to lend your services, they have a part of their blog with knitted and crocheted ta-ta patterns!

Yarnbombing.com has posted more pictures from the Joy House Tree. Click here to view the post, or click here to see the Flickr album. Can you see any of ours?

A big thank you to everyone who listened to our radio show! A fan all the way in MA has donated yarn to the cause, a big shout-out to PR & C! If you would like to donate, please email us at knittygrittycommittee@gmail.com

Better late than never, here's my St. Patty's day bomb outside of The Half Door on Sisson Ave.

KGC on the Radio

Did you miss us on the radio today? Don't fret, we'll be back on tomorrow (Wednesday) at noon on WWUH 91.3fm and Thursday at 6pm on WHUS 91.7fm. A podcast will be posted shortly on the Hartford IMC website.

Gone but not forgotten

We are getting some feedback from the Elizabeth Park "massacre" and we're glad you loved it! The KGC would like to thank everyone who has supported us, including a Parks Department employee who stated that our bombing was a great departure from the condoms, garbage, and drug paraphernalia that usually litters the park. The reason why we chose to the Rose Garden was... well... I'll just say it. It's pretty damn ugly this season. No one goes there during the winter, and now they have a reason to.

Also, to those who have not figured this out yet, this post is a satire. A joke. Sarcasm. They loved it. 
Tonight the KGC takes over your airwaves.... almost. We're recording at WWUH. Air date TBA.

The first photo of the Historic Joy Kogawa House has been posted!

Can't wait to see more! Maybe some close-ups...

Looking forward to St. Patty's Day...

What a night.

Great meeting, crew! Saw some fresh new faces eager to learn. A reminder that our meetings our open to absolutely everyone. Fortunately it was a slow night at work so I got to hang out for a bit. After a quick Google search, knitted & crocheted fanny packs are not too common. And the patterns are dull. Let's see what we can do about that. I have a pair of garbage jeans I'm going to cut up and experiment with for our next project.... who has the biggest hook? We need to have some sort of web album for all of our photos. I have some great ones that were sent to us, but I don't want to overload our blog with photos from the same event. Looks like Flickr is Blogger compatible, or I can just create a slide show. At least I don't have to work tomorrow!

Check out this cool spot on The Resurgence of Knitting that was on NPR last week. Street Color, a yarnbomber from the bay area, makes an appearance.

Then set your eyes on this find from the Wooster Collective. INTI from Chili. Great stitch work!

If you haven't already, scroll up to the right and click "Follow." Why? Because there will be cookies at the next meeting!

apparently this was the weekend to bomb.

Magda Sayeg And Guerilla Suit's Willie Nelson Yarn Bomb @Craftzine.com blog

The folks at Knitta Please created this bomb to celebrate the Willie Nelson show in Austin this weekend. Who's coming to Hartford that we can do this for? Or maybe the Odd Ball it is!

where my stitches at?

Oh, right here! And at the Rose Garden at Elizabeth Park. Click the images to make 'em bigger! We gathered at 10am, but luckily it was pretty warm. No one will deny that walking the snow-filled path was an adventure; it came up to my knees! But again, I'm only 5 feet tall. Today was the most fulfilling day I have had in a long time. I love you guys.

Hopefully we can get a professional photographer for our next mission. Hint: it will be very blue. I'll upload my polaroids as soon as I scan them in.

**UPDATE**

We've been blogged! Some more love from our friends at the good ol' Hartford IMC

And this hilarious article from the Greater Hartford Real Estate Blog.

And of course, more pictures!

Happy V-Day!

Oh, the not-cold! Certainly made bombing so much easier. Hope you enjoy the pics as much as we enjoyed bombing today!
