Yarn Wrapped Chair DIY

The other day I was one the phone for a reeeeeaaaallllyy looooonng time. Like REALLY long time. I was catching up with a friend and we hadn't talked for a while, so there was a lot to talk about. Do you know the kind of phone call I'm talking about? The kind where you're kind of worn out afterwards but it was fun? Her husband came home from work, had a snack, they loaded the kids bikes in the van, he drove off and took the kids for a walk/ride around a lake and came home and we were STILL on the phone, ha!

Anyways, while we were talking I thought I would see if I could use up some leftover yarn and attempt to spice up a tatty old chair (that really should be painted). The chair seems destined to remain in this funky empty corner in our living room, so I figured 'why not?' We talked and I weaved.

I'm not going to yarn bomb the rest of the house or anything, but this was a fun way to do something different and use up some of the stuff I had on hand. I think it would have been fun to do each spindle a different color, along with more wrapping on the lower part of the chair, but I'm not going to sweat it. It may not stay for long, but it's kind of fun for now.

What about you? Have you yarn wrapped anything in your home? What do you do on eternal phone conversations? I have another friend I always have long talks with and we both clean our house while we talk to each other. I should probably call her more often...ha!
