I was very excited to have privilege of being taken to the Commissary on a nearby US manned RAF base. I say nearby, it was a 3 hour round trip (child free, thankfully) with my good friend and yarn bombing comrade Georgia. But it was worth it to stock up on all kinds of American snacks, mostly filled with high fructose corn syrup. I bought such delicacies as Cheetos, mac’n’cheese in a box, and Graham Crackers.
Anyhoo, the point of this post wasn’t to warn you of my impending massive weight gain as a result of eating to many Hershey’s Cookies’n’Cream eggs (the chocolate equivalent of crack by the way!). I wanted to share with you some yarn bombing that we spotted on our travels.
Chipping Norton is an Oxfordshire town better known for its association with David Cameron and Rebekah Brooks. I would like to see it more meritoriously reknowned for its yarn graffiti. Check out these lovely Valentine themed creations:
This is the first time we’ve seen yarn bombs that aren’t our own in the wild. Very exciting! And if these Chipping Norton yarn bombers want to join forces with our Gloucestershire crew any time we’d love to cook something up!
I have nominated you for an award, see my latest post for more info x
I love spotting yarn bombs out and about – I’ve yet to go myself, so seeing what others have done always makes me feel inspired!
Lovely! I have not seen any further yarn bombs in my vicinity, but have a large stash of yarn, perhaps I should take the plunge and become known as ‘that affa funny quine with the knitting’ (NE Scotland!)
This is a wonderful idea – hope it takes on in South London!
Really enjoying your blog – thank you,
Emma.
