Editor's Note:
A group of seven knitting nanas have recreated their town's high street down to the tiniest detail. The 'Yarn Bombers' spent the last two years furiously threading the quiet high street, complete with individual hanging baskets and residents walking around. The group, whose oldest member is 93 years old, built the most iconic buildings on the high street. Photos: VCG
