Praise for Kilcullen knitters

Tributes were paid to the members of the Suas Knitting Group at a recent meeting of the Kilcullen 700 Committee, where it was suggested that the 'yarn bombing' should become an annual feature, writes Brian Byrne.

Committee chair Nessa Dunlea described the decorating of the bridge by the group as 'such a success', while Sabina Reddy commended the 'huge work' done by the knitters.

Antoinette Buckley said the event would be repeated every year as part of the Tidy Towns effort, noting that the knitted decorations can be taken down, and be washed and stored for next year. She made the point that an end date should be decided, before the yarn gets too dirty from traffic.

Sabina Reddy agreed, commenting that they would distract from the blooming flowers on the bridge.

After some discussion, it was agreed that the decoration will be taken down at the end of July.
