Knitty, not so gritty

A modest revolution has been sweeping the nations at the hands and nimble fingers of crafters.

Call it what you will- 'guerilla knit' or 'yarn bombing' to some, is the yarn adornment of communal spaces that brightens and softens your world. Japan does it metro style, a British Resort gets broadsheet attention, and now our local Cotswold town on Cameron's doorstep does him proud.

Pottering on a sunny afternoon my heart leapt. Somewhere in this cobbled pottering-locale there was another like me, a maker and one with attitude doing something vocal and tactile to brighten our days and say the wool trade in this area is not finished yet.
