Looks like you have competition, up north.

== They call her the Saltburn Yarnbomber. That
== is, if “she” even is a she, as most locals
== assume. But far from vandalising the pier in
== the dead of night, this shady individual isn’t
== out to cause damage – she (or he) just
== loves to knit.
== Since October last year, the mystery knitter
== – one of an army of secretive “guerrilla
== knitters” who have recently sprung up
== across Britain – has left woolly creations all
== over the tiny Teesside town. First it was a
== set of darned books (The Secret Cardigan
== and A Ripping Yarn) tied to a railing outside
== the library. Next, a tray of woollen buns
== appeared by the cake shop, while a family
== of teddy bears was spotted eating tiny
== knitted sandwiches on a picnic table near
== the promenade.
== This week, the Banksy of the knitting world
== “yarnbombed” her most spectacular creation
== yet: a huge Olympics-themed scarf, adorned
== with models of athletes from synchronised
== swimmers to rowers, weightlifters and
== footballers.
