Yarnbombing.

I am a massive fan of bright colours. The work of Kaffe Fassett is my taste down to a T. The yarnbombing movement of the last few years has absolutely thrilled me even though so far I have only personally encountered the two examples below.

    We yarn bombed our village a couple of years ago with great success, one of my friends is a felt textile artist and she made a basque to fit one of the trees, suffice to say it was very popular with the male half of the village (primarily teenagers, retired men and - oh yes husbands) Think I have been quite inclusive there!! Jokes aside - it was great fun and really brought the village out.

    Lady M is a great crocheter, maybe I can encourage her.
