Yarnbombing on KI

Let's get straight to the knitting story, shall we?

In the yarn bombing photo, you can see a rest-stop on the stair to the top of what's known as Prospect Hill, so named because Matthew Flinders climbed it to get a better view of the Island and surrounds to see what the prospects were.  The kids did count the number of steps (512 steps according to this website)  I've tried to encompass the 360 view in the other 3 photos.  The first one with the road is looking East back towards Penneshaw.  The second swings around to the SouthWest, taking in the rugged coast there, and the 3rd looks NorthWest across the lagoons towards American River.  Prospect Hill is on the narrow part of the island between the big blog and the littler blog (those are technical terms ;)

BUT back to the serious business of knitting.
What better to provide cushioning and beauty half way up the climb, than to have some yarnbombing (or yarn graffiti) on the resting seat and the balustrade itself.  I'm wishing I thought of it myself.  Now there's a thought - prepare knitting in advance for each road trip we go on, so we can leave something of beauty wherever we go......
