Has anyone dropped a stitch lately?
On the bleakest of Winter days, I still couldn’t resist a little yarn bombing, this time at Saltholme Nature Reserve.
The animals came in 2 by 2
Noah’s Ark
Worms! Where’s the worms?
Let’s just huddle together!
It’s a good day for us bugs
Let’s have a party!
I’m an eye catcher
Not as pretty as me!
I’m the elegant one
An invite to an ugly bug ball?
I’m on the lookout
Just something small for me
I’m a little sleepy
I’m a bit prickly today
He’s always bad tempered, isn’t he, Mum?
Let me round those sheep up!
We’re coming!
The details are amazing, aren’t they?Β I couldn’t see a dropped stitch anywhere.Β I had to keep on the move too, because it was SO cold!
Are you talking to me?
Pick a carrot! Any carrot…
The incredible Mr. Toad
And Ratty, of course!
It wouldn’t be complete without a tea party, would it?Β (Hover over the smaller photos to see the captions, or click to view them in a gallery).Β Have a great weekend, whatever the weather, and don’t forget to join Debbie with six words.

Yarn bombing. Is this another one of those eccentric English hobbies? I continue to be amazed.

Some people are soooo clever I would be all dropped stitches and tangled wool. But loved the arty, crafty animals and things. How long do they stay on display?

I tried to pick a favorite, but just couldn’t, Jo. I love, love, love these! It does look to have been a cold day, but I’m so glad you were able to stop and share them with us! Seems that this time there was a little suffering in your photographic art! π

All very clever and humorous! I really enjoyed that. So colorful and cute!
What will you do with all these small creatures that you have made? Will you donate them to a hospital for children with cancer? Decorate your house to create a yarnified zoo? Sell them at shows or craft faires?

I’m not clever enough to have made any of them, Sheila. It was at a public event in a nature reserve. I suppose they might well donate them. It’s a niice idea π π

Amazing what knitters can do. That dog is so realistic – although I wish he didnβt look noosed. Which reminds me: Iβve been knitting a jumper for my son for 4 years and all I have to show for it is two half sleeves. Get to it. NOW! You can have a bit of my heat, although itβs not too bad by the sea.

Perhaps you should start on a front or back. π π But then, maybe it’s not an essential in Australia. I love the collie and the robin, and that wading bird. Darn cool here, so thank you! π

I probably chose the coldest afternoon of the year, Carol. There’s absolutely no shelter and the kids were all bundled up. You could go into the bird hides, but the birds were all hiding. π π I did love it, though.
