Yarnbombing

So the guerilla knitting that greeted visitors to Town Hall Square made for a bright and unexpected start to the week. Lots of puzzled-looking people wandering around inspecting each of the newly-dressed trees, seemingly impressed by the new addition to the public space. Sadly I think they will be gone by tomorrow, but I’m glad there was no pressing need to tear them down too early. I’ve added a few photos to the Y!H Flickr page ( one two three)- thanks to whoever it was who took the time & effort to knit the pieces!”
