"Tramway to Hell" Extreme Crocheting - Only in Edinburgh...

Well - the tram fiasco has given us one thing to be grateful for: militant knitting has hit Edinburgh. This "Tramway to Hell" crochet spent a few days adorning the roadwork barriers near the Scott monument before being removed by contractors (sparking the parochial-even-for-Edinburgh headline, "Tram Protest Crochet Taken Down").

Slow Club's Charles Watson - My New Crush

The photo says it all - all I need to add is that his band is f-ing brilliant too, and that one of the most heavenly moments of my summer was falling in and out of a happy sleep on a train coming down the sublime Scottish west coast, while gazing at this man doing the same - and realising how cool his hair was under his baseball cap and how beautiful his eyes were when he finally opened them.

I think, as crushes go, this one's OK.
