Knitting Banxy, from Syston, Leicestershire, is behind 23 post box toppers which have won a huge social media response and a celebrity fan.

She said she has chosen to keep her identity secret as she "prefers to stay in the shadows".

"It's a bonus I've not been pulled up for suspicious activity," she said.

This royal topper was to celebrate the official birthday of the Queen in June

The Only Fools and Horses topper appeared to mark the show's 40th anniversary

Aren’t these a lot of fun? I haven’t seen them before, thank for the smiles, Mz Moonchime. Must come back to this thread, there’s been other towns with other knitting artists doing yarn bombing, it’s been quite a thing I believe! Mz Moonchime, any plans of committing knitting vandalism?

I just love yarn bombing - I saw some in Huntingdon and bits in other places too.
If I can improve my knitting skills then YES I would love to commit some woolly vandalism. How about it Mz Dee?

I shall add it to my Bucket List, Mz MC, right now!

These are fab-u-lous! I saw one in Ely recently and loved it. I would need to up my knitting skills considerably before attempting even a scarf for one of the characters!
