Lion Brand Yarn Blog
I spent the weekend at the CRAFT area at Maker Faire next to the fun folks at Lion Brand Yarn. (More on Maker Faire soon...) I just found out they launched the a new blog, called the Lion Brand Notebook covering everything from projects like plastic bag crochet (shown above), Tips and how-tos, up and coming fiber news, and also roundup posts of the fabulous Yarncraft podcast by Zontee and Liz. Definitely a great blog to add to your RSS reader!

Knit Graffiti - Call for Submissions
Yarnbombing has put out a submission call for an upcoming book:
Are you a knitter or crochetier? Do you design (or want to design) unusual pieces of street art out of yarn? If so, you should design a pattern for Yarn Bombing: The Art of Knit Graffiti, to be published by Arsenal Pulp Press in fall 2009. A DIY guide to the art of yarn graffiti and a history of hand-crafted textile street art, Yarn Bombing will feature patterns such as street-smart disguises, useful wearable tools like gloves and tool belts, street art such as knit car cozies, bike covers and headlight toques, and outdoor installations such as crochet shawls for leafy trees. The sky's the limit as long as it's knit or crocheted! Projects should be fun, colorful and a little bit wacky. Designers are asked to submit a sketch and detailed description of their project, along with a brief bio, by the submission deadline of May 30, 2008.

Joana Vasconcelos Crochet Art
Joana Vasconcelos is a Portuguese artist who creates crochet covers, patterning existing objects. I think it really takes the mind of a sculptor to be able to crochet in such intricate three-dimensional detail. Via Craftystylish.

Sketching with Yarn
I love the concept of sketching with yarn that Alice at Futuregirl is doing. By crocheting swatches in a spare few minutes, it's like the equivalent of doing quick sketches. Nice tip for those who want to try new stitches in knitting or crochet!

Amy Long's Fiber Art
I had the opportunity last night to visit Amy Long's MFA thesis show in fibers, and I must say I was very impressed. She uses crochet and hand felted wool to create these unique and very evocative forms. The show will be up until the end of the week in Tempe, AZ. More photos on Flickr.

Rock Band Drum Cozies
Etsy seller FunkieFresh makes these sweet cozies for your Rock Band drums. They're supposedly good for dampening your hard rocking to the benefit of your neibors. To me they have a sort of 8-bit aesthetic because of the resolution of the crocheted stitches. (Thanks, Matt!)
