Wonderful.
I have happy memories of Hawes.
We used to stay in a friend's cottage (Maryend) in Burtersett many years ago. I love the area. I especially love West Burton.

I love the post box toppers we have regularly in my corner of London. Here is the Christmas one. Even has a knitted cctv camera in the tree!

I’ve just read on my Hobbycraft email that channel 4 are looking for knitters and crocheters for a new show with Tom Daley.

This is brilliant!
Has anyone seen the regular yarnbombing displays in Thirsk?
Always a theme.
I tried to create a yarnbombing group in my village, sadly no takers.

What a great idea! Such talented crafters.

For the first time ever, our post box has been yarn bombed! It really cheered me up.

Wow they’re really good!

Brilliant, Witzend. I hope that they raise a lot of money.

That's fantastic, well done those ladies.

Post box toppers are very popular where I am. There is always a jostling for position to get the prime spot outside Waitrose.

Wow, wow and wow!
Amazing, I hope that they make lots of money for the Air Ambulance

My BiL (who’s local) said Β£18k so far.
They’ve previously done life size Wallace and Gromit and raised a lot with those, too.
