Yarn bombing

While out walking with my friend this morning she suggested we walk up to the railway station and take a look at the latest yarn bomb. I was half expecting  loads of poppies and though there certainly were plenty of poppies in tubs all over the station it had a few unexpected surprises too.The little 'Dig For Victory' display had such a sweet selection of knitted animals, fowl and people. The knitted church even has a tiny poppy wreath

    1. I was wowed until I got a bit closer and saw that it's only her face that is knitted. The rest looks like clothes stuffed with newspaper. Still impressive though.

    1. There is a group of ladies that knit all year round for the different yarn bombs. I used to be a part of the group but it began to seem like a a bit of a waste of wool when we were doing several each year

  6. How lovely! I wish there was something like it here. I remember seeing a lot when Mum and I were on our way up to Scotland on a coach trip and stopped somewhere in Yorkshire. It certainly makes me smile!

    1. There are two or three yarn bombs each year at the station. It's become quite an event.
