The culprits are an army of 50 knitters and pom-pom bombers from across Devon and as far flung as Oregon in the United States.

The yarn-bomb will be on proud display throughout the Killerton Cider...
Exeter's Unexpected 2014 Festival set its sights squarely on pulling surprises where least anticipated.
The 2014 Festival brought some of the UK's most explosive street theatre, circus shows, performances and workshops to the open-air streets, cultural venues and public spaces across Exeter's city centre with an action-packed programme of extraordinary, family-Festival fun to end the summer holidays.
Best of all, through Exeter City Council's hard work, apart from one evening event on Saturday night, the entire programme was free and unticketed.
The first ever Devon Wine and Music Festival at the renowned Pebblebed Vineyard at Clyst St George, near Exeter, was a huge success.
Hundreds of people enjoyed the cosy atmosphere of this very special festival – the high quality singers and musicians came from within a five mile radius and the food was local too.
Wine tasting from seven Devon vineyards took place in the barn and the rural idyllic scene was complete with children enjoying the space and freedom to have a straw bale fight, pick blackberries and race around the vineyard fields.
Two Short Nights is a chance to promote and celebrate short films and those who have created them.
