I had read in Let'sKnit magazine a couple of issues ago that Cocoon Knits from Hove were running a fundraising campaign involving yarn-bombing a double decker bus. It was to be driven along Brighton and Hove seafront the afternoon of the 20th August. I wasn't sure we'd get to see it, but we lucked out on our drive back from Hove.
Next day, on our way to The Lanes, we chanced upon the Martlett's Hospice shop - the hospice is the charity in aid of which the bus had been 'yarned'.
Naturally, on spying a small wool selection in the corner, I could resist doing my bit for charity. The fact the yarn's bright pink didn't hurt.
Further into town we spied a yarn-bombed lamppost and, most importantly, chose our lunch venue based on its knitted Brighton Pavilion display and knitted seagull mobiles. Sold!
Better yet, afternoon tea was served in teapots clad in the best tea cosies ever!
