Yarn Bombing
noun
the action or activity of covering objects or structures in public places with
decorative knitted or crotcheted material, as a form of street art or protest.
When the three elderly residents and keen knitters who
occupy the 'Blue Day Room' in Bleak House Care Home learn
that their High Street Haberdashery is to be closed - it's
a call to arms. Their target, local Mayor Amy Spry, who is
acquiring the shop for her 'Tour de Ridings' cycle race
event. Unbeknown to them, the Care Home manager has also
targeted the Mayor: as the only way to stop the Care Home
being closed. She wants her goodwill; the Blue Room gang
want her comeuppance. Something has to give, and it
certainly does when the residents attack an event
promoting the cycle race by 'Yarn Bombing' a sign the
Mayor is unveiling. A sign erected in the grounds of Bleak
House in an event arranged by the Care Home Manager to
gain the Mayor's vote against closure. A sign that,
courtesy of the Yarn Bombing, now shows the Mayor in a
very unflattering light. What's to be done now to save the
day (and the Home)?
