Looks like you have competition, up north.

== Since October last year, the mystery knitter

== 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

Not sure if it's the same person but someone 'yarn-bombed' the
telephone booths in Worthing (just along the coast from where I live)
last year.
This one will run & run just you wait and see.

Though I wouldn't admit it anywhere else, the reason for my cardboard
reality interventions was purely to use up all the ideas I had
clogging my mind up.
It worked!
I'm now completely empty-headed!
