CoNZealand, which is this year’s Worldcon taking place from July 29 to August 2 in Wellington, New Zealand, just announced a community art project I’m very excited about. Unfortunately I won’t be able to be there, but I’ll make sure to request pictures for documentation purposes!

CoNZealand members are invited to help yarnbomb the routes between the different venues of the convention. Pieces can reflect the overall theme of the convention “steampunk spaceship to the stars” or a personal fandom. Find out all the details on the CoNZealand website. There’s also a Facebook group you can join.

I’m looking forward to seeing what people come up with for this project! I might even contribute something from afar – there’s that idea of steampunky gears in Irish crochet lace that I didn’t have time to implement for Dublin 2019, after all.
