Yarn bomb of Helsinki cathedral. 9 months, 7 800 blankets. Quite an achievement! Three Finnish organizations; Marttaliitto, Tekstiiliopettajaliitto, and Novita, started their campaign in January 2011. Their goal was to crochet 1000 blankets to cover the stairs of the Cathedral, then donate those to families in need. The goal was achieved with flying colours: Volunteers from all over Finland, from little pupils to pensioners, made nearly 8,000 blankets! Page is in Finnish, use a translator :)
