It’s a technicoloured yarn assault. No really it is. We think it’s unlikely there are any anti-terrorism laws against knitting. And anyway, if there are they deserve to be broken.

Yarn bombing, it’s creating leg-warmers for lamp posts, tea-cosies for telephone boxes and er balaclava’s for buses (how ambitious is that?!). Get your granny to teach you a few tricks and go guerrilla.
