So you want to get involved with Yarn bombing Los Angeles?
If you're in Southern California, we hope you can drop by to one of our monthly stitch n bitch meetings. We meet regularly every third Saturday of the month at the Craft and Folk Art Museum at 5814 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90036.
CAFAM GRANNY SQUARED
SKID ROW: Please join us to for the second phase of the project in Skid Row where we'll be partnering with Downtown Women's Center (DWC). After deinstallation, we could use your help to clean and reconfigure the granny squares as blankets for DWC residents. YBLA is also partnering with DWC to design products for DWC residents to produce and sell at their shop MADE. Volunteers are needed to help us conduct knitting and sewing workshops for DWC residents in summer and fall 2013.
CATALOG ESSAYS: If you're literary inclined, we are on the lookout for 1000-1500 word essays for our project catalog to be printed in early 2014. The deadline to submit is September 7th, 2013. For more info please see our call for essays.

or you have a project proposal of your own?
We are always open to collaborate with individuals and groups to pull together resources and work on a project collectively. Considering the time, effort and materials required for each yarn bombing, we cannot yarn bomb specific locations, especially for-profit venues on demand, unless we consider a barter or compensation in proportion to the project proposal.
