A nifty knitter put all her eggs in one basket to combine her love of Easter with cartoon characters The Simpsons.

Going by the moniker The Secret Yarn Bomber, her latest crafty creation is on show on top of a post box in Waterside in Ely.

The Cambridgeshire crochet fan has made a montage featuring Bart and Lisa Simpson with Easter eggs and a rather startled-looking chicken.

World Simpsons Day is celebrated on 19 April by fans of the TV cartoon series.

Refusing to reveal her identity, the mystery maestro has been delighting people for years with her knitted and crocheted post box toppers in Ely.

This season's post box topper features Bart Simpson and sister Lisa on the ubiquitous family sofa - usually the lolling place of their dad Homer.

The yarn bomber is currently selling off her past creations - and there are many of them - via her Instagram account, with 50% of the proceeds going towards East Anglia's Children's Hospice in Milton - and the rest going towards the cost of wool for future projects, she said.
