YOUR VIEW: Yarn bomber strikes Dingwall High Street, 'bridal' Ben and tributes to a wonderful woman

The Dingwall yarn-bomber struck again this week, leaving knitted creations along the Ross-shire county town’s High Street – this time in a colourful Valentine’s Day theme.

Dingwall residents took to social media to share their thoughts on the extraordinary knitting.

Kay Dempster commended the Dingwall yarn-bomber, stating: “Well done to everyone involved it gives a lovely uplifting feeling to everyone in the town. Your work is so appreciated by visitors and locals alike.”

Michelle Cowley added: “Fantastic efforts and results every time! Well done to everyone involved.”

Bonnie Baskett said: “Memories of happy days shopping in Dingwall.”

Sharon, the woman behind all the knitting said: “So blown away that the Ross-shire Journal has done an article on the yarn-bombing again. Our yarn-bombing group is starting to grow, so if your a fellow knitter or crochet enthusiast, we will give you a warm welcome on Friday nights at the Dingwall Community Centre for group meetings.”

Warm tributes to a wonderful woman

We reported on the passing of Dingwall woman Karen Morrison at the age of just 60 following a long battle with cancer. A full appreciation appears in this week’s edition.

There’s a lot of love for snow on the Ben

Every week in the Ross-shire Journal we like to carry an image taken by one of our readers. You’ll find Ross-shire through the Lens on the letters page. There was a lot of love for last week’s image which was taken by regular contributor, Davine Sutherland. She described her shot of Ben Wyvis as looking ‘bridal’.
