Folkestone Knit Bomb - "Women hold up half the sky"

Wednesday was the hottest day of the year so far so I paused my writing and took myself off to my favourite place in the world: Folkestone and the Leas. It's not a glamorous place. Some would call it faded and many parts are down right neglected but it still holds much beauty and magic for me. It also has a growing art community and I was very excited to see some knit bombing / yarn bombing (I've never seen it in real life). I saw some in the town centre covering some bollards and then as I walked down the art quarter I saw this:

Okay, the originator of the quotation (Chairman Mao) had a very questionable human rights record but the effort and good intentions that went into this knit bomb really cemented why I love Folkestone so much and why I hope to move to the Leas one day.

Here are some more pictures of art in Folkestone:

 

P.S. A lot of you guys liked my fox tails so when I get some time I'll do a series of posts on how to make them as well as how to make a faux fur scarf and possibly even a fur muff :-) Keep an eye out!
