As I near the end of Frankie’s Amazing Technicolor Dreamghan…
of course I have to find another massive project to fill my winter months…
Yes, I saved this glider from the dumpster. I really need to quit doing stuff like that.
Frank helped me cut out the old seat webbing, and get it all cleaned up.
Now it’s time for me to design some yarnbombing.
I’m currently undecided if it will be acrylic yarn or nylon cord. I’m leaning towards nylon cord for longevity, but the color choices aren’t as fun as I’d hope. Hmmm, sounds like I need to do some retail therapy 🙂
Make today ridiculously amazing!

I cannot wait to see what you do with that glider. (What actually IS a glider anyway? you gonna go windsailing on it?).
Frankie’s blanket is unbelievable. What a labour of love. xx

You crack me up!! It’s just a rocker on a stationary base, so it glides back & forth instead of squishing kitteh tails 😀 This one was quite yukky, so I assume it was an outdoor piece with it’s original owner, but I think it will be a lovely addition to my studio.

As promised, here I am again. Not sure if I can help and I don’t have any experience with nylon cord, but this is maybe something you can adapt/adjust. Scroll down the page for the yarnbombed bench pictures: http://sannaochsania.blogspot.hu/2012/03/bank-pa-fyra-satt.html
Anyway best of luck with your plans!

Hi Lisa! I love your beautiful afghan. It turned out amazing! I can hardly wait to see what you do with the glider! I agree with you about the nylon cording; it won’t stretch like acrylic and will will be more sturdy. Thanks so much for sharing. Love and Hugs, Tamara
