Meanwhile, a wedding yarn bomb

In the absence of anything being completed in the vastness that is my WIP-collection, some ladies at my group Ons Hekel came to my rescue with a beautiful topic for today:

A friend of theirs runs a wedding venue Tsekama, a private game reserve near Modimolle and she wanted a nice, new background for wedding photos - so what better than a yarn bomb?

How pretty is this?

Gerda, Mara, Henta and Estelle started hooking...72 motifs and 80 x 100g Elle Cotton On later, they finished 2m from ground level.

And they didn't even use specific patterns - they hooked from the heart and improvised as they went along. 

Well done ladies - we're looking for a photo with a bridal couple now!

Is that a nyala ewe hiding in the upper right-hand corner?

Yes, even though we don't really have lions and elephant roaming the streets in South Africa, often you'd find a nearly-tame buck or two roaming near the accommodation in reserves.

Interesting fact - the njala provides the dividing line between smaller and larger antelope species: the female is called a ewe (as in all smaller species), while the male is called a bull (as in all larger species) and not a ram.
When in SA, drop that fact oh, so casually before the game ranger can do that :-)

Thanks to Gerda Grobler, who provided the photos
