KNIT ART FOUND in Leuven

Before I left my own tag "Jacobsester" in Leuven, a friend of mine showed me a yarn bombing she had found there earlier. Sewn on a gate located at an entry to stairs leading up a pathway, there were two colorful knittings. Apparently, they were not in the best condition anymore and my friend said there had been some kind of fish attached to one of them before which was unfortunately gone now. Still a beautiful little flower was left.

A lace was attached to the right one; I guess that was were a label about the artist had been. If anyone knows who left these knittings there, please don't hesitate to write a comment! Thanks :-)

Jacobsester [Leuven, Belgium]

It's already a few weeks ago since I found a nice place where I could put up "Jakobsstern's" older sibling. As you might remember from one of my last posts, I knitted a tag for a sculpture of St Jacob in Göttingen, Germany, but then decided not to leave it there, since I thought it was too big. Instead, I made a new, smaller one, "Jakobsstern".

Now I found a good spot for the big one, too: While walking through the beautiful city of Leuven, I found a small crossing over the canal with a goose's sculpture and a pole which had just the right size for my knitting. And the best thing: The pole had a sign of St James' Way ("Jakobsweg" in Dutch) which was apparently coming by this place. So both knittings got the opportunity to be in touch with St Jacob. Therefore, I named this knitting the same as its younger sibling, "Jacobsester", but now in Dutch instead.

Happy New Year!

Happy new year to all of you!

May your yarn never snap, your stitches never drop and inspiration always be at your side!
Happy knitting in 2013! :-)

All the best!
