The Thirsk yarnbombers have been busy again. They have created a display for Remembrance, so Katharine and I had a trip to Thirsk last week.
The first time that we saw the work of the Thirsk yarnbombers was at Remembrance a few years ago, when they created a waterfall of poppies flowing down from the roof of the church. Each year they have changed their display, and this year have included items like this one, with two rather happy looking members of the Womens Land Army. It is only in recent years where the role of women in war has been recognised.
We have also included a shot of the Women of Steel sculpture in Sheffield, though at the moment I can't locate when. My own mum was one of the Women of Steel, operating a crane in a steel rolling mill in Rotherham.
The main focus of Remembrance is on service personnel, but it was good to see the roles of so many others who gave up so much during conflicts is being marked in this display in Thirsk.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
I'm impressed not only by the creative ideas of the Thirsk yarnbombers, but by the number of displays they have created recently - since mid year the Queen's platinum celebration, the Queen's death, halloween, Remembrance, and planned for the end of this month, Christmas!
love this

Your Mum was a crane operator? That is so cool
