Yarn Bombing at Kenilworth

I have a few photos lying on my computer from when Ben and I visited a nearby town called Kenilworth. Every year the area has a scarecrow festival but as I found out they also do yarn bombing! You can see some photos I took of last years scarecrows here (lazily only posted a few months ago) but for now, some bright cheery yarn to fill your screens and the cutest chalk koala I ever did see!

  1. How interesting and amusing Kenilworth looks! :) Love how colorful it is with all the yarn! :) Wow, that Koala is amazing! We have a yarn guerrilla in Barcelona which mission is to beautify urban pieces like bins, fences or benches and while they do they sometimes wear fake crochet beards to also claim that there should be more boys knitting ;)

    1. Completely random stumble upon but when I saw the street it made me smile - I wonder how long they keep them up for?
