There has been a display in our local church today showing 33 bible stories that have all been knitted!! This is the work of the congregation of St Georges URC Hartlepool and it goes on tour around the country.
It was like the whole inside of the church had been yarnbombed!
They were happy for me to take photos and share them on here so here you are hope you enjoy.
Love the use of different textures and yarn and stitches.

This is such an impressive achievement and on several levels.
A brilliant way of depicting these stories and also a celebration of talent and imagination on the part of the knitters. All beautifully presented. Thank you to all those involved I know you have given joy to many.
I also came away with a pattern to knit an angel as part of a plan to ‘angel bomb’ the village!!!
My name is Judith and I love all types of needlecraft, particularly knitting! Now that our shop has closed, I am looking forward to lots of inspiring adventures and explorations, trying to find out what new and exciting things I can create and learn in the wonderful world of textiles.
