So get out those knitting needles Santa the Barwell Knutty Knitters are in town and they are bringing the festive fun to Barwell.

The village of Barwell in Leicestershire has been yarnbombed* by a group of Knitters (Barwell Knutty Knitters) lead by Lesley Waldron. The group of knitters took 18+ months to create the works which feature a variety of topics from a well stocked aquarium in a local garage window to a tree dressed as a green and red parrot. Look out for the bees nest in a tree but don`t worry about their sting these bees are made of wool. How many things can you spot ?. *YarnBombing is the practice of covering various street furniture etc in knitted works with the aim of brightening up an area.
