Yarn Bombing in Brighton

This is a classic terraced street of small cottages in Brighton. What caught my eye though was the yarn bombing of the lamp posts. And it's not even festival time yet! 😁

I'm always partial to a bit of yarn bombing. I admire the patience of the knitters/crocheters who do this. All that time and effort only to sacrifice their art to the great outdoors. Still if it's a street you often walk along I suppose you'd still get to enjoy it though.

This one's not too huge an effort but I've seen photographs of whole buses that have been yarn bombed.

Mind you I think the big ones are usually community efforts so it's probably a lot of fun socially!

These photos of this community effort were taken on the East Coast of England in 2014 which was the last time the World Cup was on. All the pier railings were yarn bombed with different football teams and their supporters.

A winning effort. Don't you think? 😁
