The Knitting Nest would like to present the newest member of our team, Frank the Yarn Bombed Scarecrow! Frank joins Birdie, our mascot, in welcoming customers to our little corner of the yarn world.
How did Frank get here, you’re wondering? The Waupaca Area Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a scarecrow contest and Frank is The Knitting Nest’s entry into that contest.
Last Thursday night, we started with a PVC frame, a few bits of knitting, and a bunch of yarn. With the help of some M&Ms and lots of creativity, we managed to yarn bomb the living daylights out of that frame!! And look what came into being – Frank!
I’m not so sure Frank is going to be scaring anyone anytime soon – although Birdie looks a little skeptical of his presence. Really, I think he’s more cute than scary.
What now? There are scarecrows in and around lots of Waupaca area businesses, so check them all out. On the bottom of the frame is a can where you can donate money that will go to the Waupaca Area Food Bank. You can also go inside the businesses and sign up for a drawing for a gift certificate – no purchase necessary. The business with the most support for their scarecrow will win an advertising package from the Waupaca Area Chamber, so send all your friends and neighbors over to meet Frank!
And now, can you guess how Frank got his name??
