I am a member of a lovely group called The Knicky Knack Knitters who are part of Seaham and District U3A. For the past year or so we have been making all sorts of marine type objects from seaweed to mermaids the plan being to provide a nautical display for Seaham Marina.
We all met early one sunny Friday morning and set about tying the display to any available railing.
I was quite sceptical about the whole project to be honest, a lot of work went into the making and planning and I was afraid that the whole display would be ruined by the weather and possibly by vandals.
I'm so pleased that I was proved wrong, nearly two weeks later it still looks as good as it did when we first put it up and we have had a lot of wind and rain.
I have never really been a big fan of yarn bombing I've always thought that the yarn could be put to better use but I completely changed my mind on that first morning, as people began to drift down to the Marina the huge smiles on their faces as they caught their first glimpse of the display said it all.
I hope you are all having a great week.😊

Some pieces are displayed inside the cafe's and shops too.

We all need a bit of light relief away from the madness of everyday life and if this can put a smile on someones face and provide them with that then it's all been worthwhile. Thank you to Pamela our amazing group leader for the great idea and her endless encouragement and enthusiasm.
I hope you are all having a great week.😊
