Napier's CBD - Yarn Bombed!

How AMAZING does Napier's main street look tonight ? ...


Organised by Creative Napier, Napier Inner City Marketing, and Skeinz, local knitting groups 'adopted' a palm to yarn bomb and created their own 'Tree Cosy'

Byron and I braved the elements to run down the street capturing the amazing 'knitting graffiti' adorning the palms. It's not actually a random event as they often are, instead many knitters around the 'Bay have been clicking needles furiously to achieve this art event. Well done all the knitters involved with the 'Tree Cosies' - it looks fantastic!!

Byron's favourite?  The Frogs and the 'Mixed Bag' lollies.  Mine?  Too hard to choose!   So inspirational.
