But that’s because no one had yet crocheted a giant doily and placed it under a railroad bridge. Now they have, and you can find it in Bristol, England.

Initially, the doily’ origin appeared to be a mystery, but it soon emerged that it was created as part of a Mayfest performance for a theater group. Regardless of the reason it appeared, it is absolutely gorgeous and quite an amazing crochet feat — it was crafted from rope with a giant crochet hook, according to BBC News.

So fabulous! We hope it remains in place for as long as possible. How about you?
