After Halloween, Remembrance and main Summer Yarnbombs, in 2024 The Cosby Yarnbombers are back for the festive season with a Christmas themed display. How do they do it ?, The amazing Cosby Yarnbombers have decorated the centre of Cosby once again with festive creations of all types, we start at a traditional nativity scene before moving through the nook to an amazing postbox topper featuring a chimney and a certain man in reds boots sticking out, around the edge of the postbox are stockings filled with gifts. Moving on we find three patchwork Christmas trees of differing sizes and various decorations hung from the trees around them giving movement to the scene as they swing in the breeze. crossing the road we are first greeted by the resident Ducks before we see the showstopper life sized Santa`s Sleigh and Reindeer lead by Rudolph himself. The tree above them is filled with knitted stars.

The Newbold Knitsys !, Have once again been decorating the village Post Box in Newbold Verdon.  The topper theme is Remembrance and pays tribute to the many brave soldiers who fought for our freedoms in wars both historic and current, revealed in time for Remembrance Sunday the topper features a black silhouette of a soldier wearing a helmet surrounded at it`s base with knitted poppies in red, black and purple, Poppies also surround the edge of the postbox attached to a grass green base.

To mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy the community of Braunstone Town in Leicester decided to create a display of knitted poppies. The Banner featuring hundreds of hand knitted poppies, collected after an appeal for donations in the Braunstone Life community publication, are seen in red with white versions spelling D-Day 80 the banner is hung on the side of the Braunstone Civic Centre providing a dramatic backdrop to and complementing the memorial garden which itself is planted with red poppies and white flowers.

The amazingly talented SKB or Syston Knitting Banksy brings us a postbox topper featuring the Leicester City Squad who where crowned champions of the Sky Bet Championship in 2024 after a 3-0 win away at Preston.  Each member of the squad has been rendered in knitted form and is seen wearing their #lçfc  king power kit around a sign reading "Champions". #StraightBackUp
