Perhaps the fingers were "dancing"?

A couple of Fridays ago saw me up at the crack of dawn so I could get into Manchester to meet friends from The University of Manchester In Stitches group to yarn bomb the Corrie Tour.


The group had been preparing for a couple of months, having been invited by a PR company to decorate the Street.  We'd been asked to do more than we did - but had to be realistic and manage expectations.  But fingers were flying (dancing?) in the days leading up to the yarn bombing morning - finishing squares, making up flowers, and completing the hanging 'basket'.

Some members of the group went down to 'recce' the Street the week before - and received some press attention, from both the Manchester Evening News and the University news desk.

Our next project is a craft stall in November to raise money for the Wood Street Mission and the local Food Bank.  But there may well be distractions along the way - our fame seems to have spread and we're getting invitations to yarn bomb other places!
