It's International Yarn Bombing Day, of course.
What do you mean, you didn't get the memo?
I really wanted to join in, but I can't knit! (or crochet)
So I thought, what else can I do with a ball of wool? Pom poms of course!
So I made up a few this afternoon:
...and then we headed out to find somewhere to put them....
After a little bit of thought, the perfect spot became obvious....the statue of the bathers over by the Link Centre....
One of the poor chaps seems to have lost his nose:
I'm sure I can help him with that....
That's better :D
His two friends got nose jobs too:
Here's hoping they bring a smile to somebody's face
By next year, maybe I'll have got the hang of knitting?
