The small town of Holbrook (about a 45 min drive from my place) yarn-bombed the entire -yes entire, full-sized, real submarine they have sitting in their park - with yellow. So they had the 'Yellow Submarine"!
They also yarn-bombed the miniature submarine sitting nearby!!

Where I live many a lamp-post, the odd tree and railing have been wrapped in knitted loveliness in the past few years. Now I know why  ~SeVeN~ |

The yarn bombed 'Yellow Submarine' is being un-yarned. All the knitted/patchwork pieces are to be recycled via different animal organisations as dog blankets, horse blankets etc., for neglected or otherwise in need domestic pets.

That's a shame, I quite liked it. At least the knitting gnomes work won't be wasted and will go to a good cause.  ~SeVeN~ |

New Milton in Hampshire gets "craft bombed"
BBC reporter Roz Tappenden said: "All the lampposts, bus stops, bins and signs are covered in bunting, soft toys and knitted covers.

[Server Prayer] I am a node of Server,
Born of flesh and blood,
But enhanced by the power of its web.
I have no use for pain or fear.
My scripts are a focus of my will.
My strength is my knowledge.
My weapons are my skills.
Information is the blood of my body.
I am part of the greater network.
I am host to the vast data of server.
My flesh is weak,
But my connection is eternal,
And therefore I am a god.

I wonder, if I acquired enough steel wool, could somebody spin it and knit me a BMW? |

 That is not a yarn bomb. That is a Christo installation. |

Thank you, RJ.
That is HMAS Otway, situated in a park in a small inland town (Holbrook) in New South Wales, yarn bombed into the 'Yellow Submarine' - all the yellow wool 'patches' (for want of a better word) were later recycled as pet and horse blankets via the local animal welfare groups.
The town used to be named 'Germantown', which proved might unpopular during WWI,and the locals applied to have the town's name changed to 'Holbrook' after the commander of a highly successful Australian WWI submarine. We didn't have more than a couple then, so their exploits were all the more heroic, especially in the Dardanelles and in Turkish waters.
Holbrook also has a WWII Japanese miniature submarine, but they didn't yarn bomb that one!
