Talking of yarnbombing.......

Re yesterday's post and my last comment about the possibility of yarnbombing Clitheroe Castle, the Mail Online featured an article, back in August 2011 on yarnbombing artist 'Babukatorium' and the work that she had done in Hungary decorating trees with woollen stripes and cobwebs. All appearing as if from nowhere overnight, the whole thing looks like a bit of a weird dream (think HR Puffnstuff crossed with the The Banana Splits?) but it really does attract attention and certainly brightens things up!

Presumably some sort of measuring must also have gone on beforehand but I imagine it is also quite handy if you can climb trees in the dark, have a vast stash of brightly-coloured wool........and 3 months to spare!

  1. Linziloop is helping to organise a yarn bombing project in Liverpool if you are interested? Do you knit? http://www.etsy.com/teams/9694/merseyside-etsy-team/discuss/9649409/

  4. The stripy trees are lovely on their own but snow would be a lovely addition Elizabeth. x
