OK, I'm a bit late for the Olympics with this, but these shots were a chance encounter and I couldn't resist - and I am early for the Paralympics.
These yarnbomb Olympians were part of a display arranged around the old market cross in Easingwold. Taken yesterday, our Moorsbus paused briefly beside the market cross to pick up passengers, and these shots were taken through the window of the bus. Sadly these were the only two that I could get a clear shot of. Perhaps I need a trip to Easingwold for photos of the rest, if I can find the time.
I'm not sure who these were produced by, but I was impressed by the compact display they had created. The market cross with steps around it makes a great location for them.
It was really good to be out and about and to spend time on the North York Moors. Last weekend we couldn't make our planned outing because both Katharine and I both had heavy colds. We are much better now and I'm sure that our trip yesterday has helped in the healing process.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
Yarnbombing seems to have become quite a thing here in Yorkshire. There are displays several times a year in Thirsk, occasional displays in Ripon and Easingwold, and a recent display in Pickering which I think is the first one there. Both Katharine and I like to see them. They really do brighten up the town centres and enhance community spirit. A lot of effort and creativity goes into their creation, which is appreciated by many.
Fun dolls. Glad you are now feeling betters from your colds. I enjoyed the Olympics but glad they are over. I watched so much, it is nice to have my life back.

Thank you! I love the Olympics, but because life is very busy at the moment, I didn't get to watch as much as I would have liked.
