Check these out my woolly friends Aren't they fabulous?!

That link to the Olympic people is brilliant Pistey! I'd vaguely heard of people doing random or guerilla kniiting things - but that one is excellent

There's a few yarnbombers on mumsnet, maybe it was them

yarnbombers PurplePidjin is that what they're called? That's a great name

How about THESE bad boys then?

Although THIS is the picture I was actually looking for. Finding the other one was just a happy accident!

Phew... was just having a small panic in case you were showing us all your beautiful handiwork...

Ha ha, no, although DP's birthday is coming up...

Donkey - that's what Knotty made for Mr Knotty for his last birthday.S'true..

Yarn bombing? I love it! Never heard of it before. Around here people do guerilla gardening.

After a little research I've found this lady on Twitter who appears to know more about the Saltburn Yarnbomber.

How do I add in a new ball of wool? Do I just start knitting with it?

I do stripes, and when I first introduce a new colour, that's exactly what I do, just start knitting with the new wool.

You will have extra pesky ends to sew in, but that is easy.

Have finished all my squares, have put the photos up. They do look bit wonky but I'm quite proud of them. Only started crocheting about a month ago and absolutely loving it! Although not sure I ever progress from blankets

Thank you pistey!!

They're really lovely, Pirate.

They are super, Pirate!

Pirate, they are lovely.

Pirate - they're beautiful and look very intricate

Wow, pirate they are lovely! I wish I could crochet... Can't seem to get the hang of it.

I bought myself a crochet hook and some wool to practice on today.

I am bloody awful at it though so hoping we hear back from Glitterknickers soon!!

Hello.

Sorry been AWOL. The boys aren't very well so I am behind with my knitting but hopefully I should be finished in time.

I'm tempted to buy a hook and pick a YouTube tutorial and see if I can make anything other than the mess I made when my Mum tried to teach me a hundred years ago does being able to knit help learning to crochet in any way?

I haven't received any wool yet, is anyone posting to me please?
