Shocking yarn bombing in Norwich

Oky, so I haven't blogged since March and this is totally shocking!
 I had almost forgot that I had created it! 
I apologise For my lack of commitment to the cause and will now over the next few days update you on the many knitted thing that have been completed since my last blog!  

I believe that I mainly got distracted by a very large project that reached it's completion in May, and other projects went on hold when I took this on. I believe now is the correct time to discuss this amazing feet that a small group of little knitter created. 

On 11th of May 2012  I became a Yarn Bomber!

Looking back my project did start at the beginning of April so this might be why it all went quite on the blog front. A small group of ladies so I knew and some I didn't came together through the power of social networking. We selected our target, the front of Norwich city hall and set about creating as much knitting and crochet that was possible in time to cover as much as possible. 
I decided to create a lamp post cover and using Entrelac in Norwich City Colours.

I had never done Entrelac before and what looks a really hard thing to do was really very easy, though I would have to consult the book again when I decided to do another piece. 
On May 11th we made our attack for the start of the Norwich Arts festival. It took many hours in the cold but it was completed we covered lamp posts, bins and even the main Norwich Lions. Here are some pictures!







It was the most exciting thing I think I have ever done! We even made the papers
Thank you to everyone who made it happen!
