This knitted cuff appeared on the lamp post at the bottom of Nine Tree Hill some time ago. It’s a beautiful piece of knitting, and someone has clearly put a lot of thought into the construction and colours – I particularly like the way the grey yarn is such a close match to the lamp post. I wonder if it has a suitably urban name – something like Pavement, drain pipe or lamp post, even – the yarn that is, not the knitting. Today, when I looked, I thought it had gone. But no, it had just slipped a little. I was going to nudge it back into position, but then, when I crouched down, I realised that I rather liked the view from this level. And once you are down at ankle height, there is a surprising amount to see… but that’s for another post.

Yarn Bomb! Wow it really is beautiful. Colorful lichen on a post!
Wow! That’s bizarre! Either you have a real eye for spotting the oddest things in the street or Bristol’s full of interesting street decoration! I really must do more than just drive through one day.
my friend made it! she made bollards into mushrooms by the river also.
Please tell her how much I love it. Are the mushrooms still there?
I walk past this every day on my way to work and I always think how clever it is, and that there really should be more knitted additions to lampposts. I might give it a try…
