Staffordshire yarn bombing

This strange manifestation is an example of guerrilla knitting, aka ‘yarn-bombing’. Certain anonymous people knit these coloured 'granny-squares', and then – under cover of night – attach them to street furniture, from phone-boxes to street signs. Or to telegraph poles, as in this instance.

Quite why they do it is a mystery.

The small village of Cresswell has recently had a spate of these up its length and breadth.. Does the village have a secret yarn-archist in its midst? Or was it the action of a passing activist? We may never know.
There is an underground group called the Stoke Guerilla Shoopers, but Cesswell is well outside Stoke-on-Trent.
