The Cornish based yarn bombers the Graffiti Grannies have been flown all the way to New York by Vogue magazine to bring British tea party culture to a knitting convention.

The group of nine woman, aged between 40 and 97 have done regular yarn bombing around Cornwall since April Fool's Day 2010, when they decorated Mousehole with woollen mice.
