Since I also do a lot of volunteering, I feel I can write my opinion also. You asked if a true yarn bomber would inspire? Yes, yarnbombing has been very inspiring in a variety of ways, but the one that really sticks with me are the children. Inspiring children is never a waste of time.

Some people enjoy spending their evening’s scrapbooking, video games, going to basketball games, watching cars go around in circles for hours on tv, lounging by the pool, or sitting reading a book. People spend hundreds of dollalrs on ipods, gadgets, golf clubs, books/magazine subscriptions, season tickets for games/entertainment, video games but woe betide someone who uses scraps of yarn, donated yarn or cheap yarn for outdoor art.
I continue to be astonished by the presumption that how I spend my time, how I donate, and the materials I use as an artist are a waste??? Does the same rule apply to my paint, canvas, wood, beads, paper and glue. Do these same rule apply to others, or just yarnbombers?
Have any of you checked the needs lists of homeless shelters, or looked at what is really damaging our trees? Have any of you been homeless?
