Yarn Bombing


Yesterday I had a trip down to the coast in Kent to visit my mum. We had lunch out, and wheeled her down the pier. I thought you might like to see these photos of the railings, which have been yarn bombed. I think it has even been added to since my last visit (when I forgot to take my camera).
 
As you can see it goes on for yards and yards ....

I love this giant tarantula, as well as the red arrows display team ...

... and this chicken and food section ...

So much for my idea to knit a Battenburg cake. It is so hard to come up with something original.

Lovely bright beach huts ...


... and I liked this spooky display.

I even saw a starfish, which I am pretty sure was knitted from my own pattern. Well done Herne Bay knitters and crocheters, you have done a fantastic job!

  13. It looks fabulous, and is such a brilliant way of bringing people together to work on a community project. I did a post, then dashed off to London to see my younger daughter before Melinda posted her link, so I'm late linking in to it but my post is at https://thebooktrunkblog.wordpress.com/

    1. I don't know, though it definitely seemed that each section of the fence had been done by a different person.
