Crochet Appreciation / The Yarn Bomber strikes again

That bush is busy with birds.

Does anyone know the person/people who do the bollard crochets at Forest Hill station and other places? I’d love to do a piece on them for the Forest Hill Society newsletter. If they prefer anonymity we can keep that as well.

I think they were credited to “London Yarn Bomb” as well, see some vague info here: Crochet Appreciation - #22 by ForestHull

You could also knock on the door of the ‘crochet house’ I suppose…

If @ForestHull’s suggestion doesn’t work, I think I might know where they live based on the front garden of a house (unless it was commissioned!), if you want the road PM me (I don’t know the number but can direct you).

Thanks. I think I know which road it is as well. I am hoping though that someone might have another form of contact before I start cold calling on doors in a pandemic.

A call or video call would certainly be better, but I actually feel knocking on someone’s door and all staying outside can be done pretty safely nowdays. Good luck, let’s see if they want to be the Banksy of the crochet world!

You could also drop a friendly note through the door asking them to get in touch. Maybe embroider your message on a hanky if you want to really get their attention :crazy_face:

Not local but love this one in Windsor from the BBC News website:

It’s brilliant - and I can give you a very tenuous connection. My colleague’s Mum is part of the group who made it. She made the Queen on this one…

I just love seeing these wherever and whenever they pop up. Huge thanks to the kind heart of whoever makes them and sends them out to bring cheer.

They are so nice & would make a lovely present for a child as thru can just be put in the wash when dirty, depending on the stuffing I suppose.

Brilliant!
Just when I was lamenting the lack of Crochet Joy at the station.
Looking forward to seeing them tomorrow morning :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
