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.
I feel I missed out. I might have been good at this xx
Itβs never too late to start a new hobby!
Wow! There are some very industrious and talented knitters around your area, Jo. Gorgeous! xx
It must be all the chilly weather! It was grey and absolutely perishing that day, Ad π π
You needed a nice warm wooly hat, scarf and gloves.
I did! Much more practical than woolly sheep and collie dogs but not so eye catching. π
LOoOooOOOoovely! I wouldn’t be able to resist it either.
Mick was turning blue with cold xxx
Good morning !!! It is a clever way to express your creativity through the handmade goods!!! Thank you for sharing!! All they are cute !!!!!!!!!
I used to knit and crochet but nothing so clever as this. π π And it’s a terrible morning, but only the weather π
Keep discover and enjoy life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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?
They’re there for about a month, Pauline. Amazing how well they survive the weather. π π Brilliant, aren’t they?
Yes I wondered about how the weather would affect them
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
Just a little, Debbie! I was kept enchanted by the little creatures, but my husband was just purely cold. π π
It’s absolutely amazing! I really like it very much!
A great idea! It was a lot of knitting by hand but the result is fantastic!
I like all of them! Thank you for sharing with us.
You have a wonderful night! β€ ~~~~
They’re brilliant, aren’t they? Somebody must have been keeping warm by knitting this winter π π
Maggie liked the sheep. π
She would have had a nice companion or two, Patrick. π π
I loved, I loved so much, what a beautiful event and works, and photographs, I admire and all of them fascinated me. I just wished to be there too but how nice you share with us, Thank you dear Johanna, have a nice day and new week, Love, nia
You would have needed a good warm coat and scarf, Nia, but you would have been very welcome xx
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

Guten tag! xx
Wow this was amazing, I couldn’t pick a favourite one. Thanks for sharing and hope it gets warmer soon where you are.
dropping by from 6ws
A little while till Spring, Suzy, but this was wonderful to see, even though I shivered. π π
Oh, these are fabulous Jo.
Such a lot of work, Ruth! I loved them all π π
Ooo I love a good yarn bomb. So many awesome ones here. ‘Are you talking to me’ π
Brilliant isn’t he? I loved them all xx
Great way to add colour to the bleakness…each time I thought ‘that’s my favourite!’ another great one came along.
I know! I had to hop from one foot to another to keep warm but I loved them xx
What fun Jo!
Freezing fun, Colline! π 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
The wading bird was one of my favourites too.
I feel so inadequate!
You and me both, Mari π π But we can admire.
oh my goodness- so crafty and artistic- wow…I am a quilter so have not dropped a stich nor lost a square…
I cannot even imagine making these= my hats off to you!
I used to knit and crochet quite a lot, Kathe- before I started a blog. π π How are things with you?
There is so much work in these delightful critters and they make a fun display. I love to crochet but I don’t know if my skills are this advanced. I’m pleased you braved the chill to go so you could share with us, Jo.
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.
