Yarn bombing otherwise called guerrilla knitting or graffiti knitting has hit my local town of New Mills, Derbyshire with a splash of colour and laughter. The practice is believed to have originated in the U.S with Texas knitters trying to find creative ways to use leftover and unfinished knitting projects...
Many shop windows have been adorned with knitting, with displays of knitted fruit, cakes, bikes and sausages in associated shops.
This wonderful knitted graffiti has been made by the Woolly Wanderers, and is showing between the 10th and the 25th September. You can find out more about them at http://newmills-woollywander.blogspot.com/
