I am back in Portugal for today’s #TreeSquare as it is Friday, and I spotted another little something in my tree archives for Marsha and Cee.

I suspect the yarn is no longer in situ as I photographed this street art back in 2019. However it was definitely public art as it was all over this Mértola. Each tree had been bombed by a different parish, a reflection that many of the villages to the north and west of Mértola were once renowned for their lace making, their blankets and woven carpets. You can enjoy more of their crochet designs here.

  11. I haven’t been up to Mertola in a long while but you can find random yarn bombing around the place. Often when you least expect it, but Quarteira had quite a lot at one time. Hopefully it makes the trees feel happy.

  14. This one’s a beauty. Just yesterday we visited Warwick, about 45 minutes south of here. They have an annual Jumpers and Jazz in July winter festival, with all the trees in the main streets wearing yarn bombed jumpers. It was fabulous. I’m posting photos on Instagram at the moment but I’ll also post about it in August.
