A MYSTERY internet blogger and friends threaded together an unusual trick or treat in Hay-on-Wye over Halloween.

The web weaver, called the Yarn Craft Rebel, and friends left a ghoulish trail of themed crocheted creations at various town centre landmarks to mark the event this weekend.

Pictures of knitted ghosts, gothic hearts and a crochet cobweb created by group members who are referred to online under pseudonyms like the Black Widow and Phantomstitch appeared on the Yarn Craft Revival blogspot this week.

Alongside them its creator, who hopes to inspire people regardless of age or gender to learn crochet and/or knitting, says: “I have to add that the funniest part of the evening for me was having a bunch of spotty teenage boys heckling us - a bunch of grown women - for doing 'graffiti'. Brilliant!”
