- Yarn bombing of Kogawa Tree on BCLiving.ca:
About 50 crafters gathered at 1450 West 64th Avenue in Marpole to complete the three-month long yarnbombing project to cover the cherry tree behind Joy Kogawa’s childhood home. Joined by authors, photographers, television crews and supportive friends and family, the day was a huge success.
