Crochet Appreciation / The Yarn Bomber strikes again

Most of the ones on the south side of the station carpark have gone, walrus, duck,flamingo etc…in fact this morning it appeared that a few from the west facing side had gone too.
I find it heartbreaking that some idiots have to ruin something that brought real joy to adults and children alike-plus the work that went into these pieces was a surely a labour of love.
I actually find it more upsetting than the theft of the christmas tree hat because someone gave so much time and care to make these woolen sculptures for the enjoyment of others in that ugly station car park.
Why cant people just leave nice things alone for all to share?

What about the Walrus, Ducks and so forth the ones nearest WH Smith?
Those are the ones I was referring to
I love these so much I feel weirdly proprietorial towards them!

Does anyone have the contact details of the person doing the crochet? Or shall I put a note through the front door of the house with the distinctive front garden, and hope it’s the right address?!

Fantastic - I was sad to see they had gone the other day, but looks like they were taken in and then updated for the season :slight_smile:

Do pom-poms count as crochet? This tree with its wooly jumper and pom-poms made me smile anyway :slight_smile:

They are so lovely. The person/s who made them certainly has a talent. Although I used to be a prolific knitter, (not able to now due to rheumatoid arthritis) I could never get the hang of crocheting. :blush:
